♥ Simon Says...Monochromatic ♥

Hi friends!! Before I get started on today's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge I just wanted to ask if any of you have ever had Poison Ivy? I have had it now for a few days and I am ready to try anything to get rid of it! It is the worst!! It is so itchy, I feel like I want to rip my skin off! :( Anyone have any natural home remedies? I already tried swimming in the ocean (supposedly the sea water is supposed to help!), Calamine lotion, Witch Hazel, White Vinegar and Baking Soda, taking Vitamin C, swimming in my pool, hot showers, cold showers, you name it, I think I tried it! So if anyone knows of anything, please let me know. I would really appreciate it! :)

So on to today's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! This week we want to see Monochromatic cards!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Paper Smooches! I chose this cute clear stamp set called Whirligigs. I stamped the images in a couple different shades of green inks on white cardstock. I used a scallop circle punch on one of them and cut the other two out with scissors.

The base paper on the card is by Magnolia Ink and is called Sage Kitchen Cloth. Such a fun paper! I also used a beautiful die by Cottage Cutz called Bella Leafy Branch. I ran the die through my Grand Calibur Machine twice, first using a light green cardstock and then a darker green cardstock. I "filled in" some of the light green leaves with some of the darker green cardstock. The "Smile" stamp is from Ali Edwards Favorite Memories Clear Stamp Set.

And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

Have a wonderful day!!

♥ A Monochromatic Shabby Chic Card ♥

Hi everyone! Just stopping in to share a card I made for 2 awesome challenge blogs. The Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge Blog and the Let's Get Shabby Challenge Blog. Both of their challenges this week is to make a card using only one color. So FUN and challenging!

I used some gorgeous papers by Prima from their Printery line. I also used some Prima lace trim, punched butterflies, Liquid Pearls, lace, seam binding, a chipboard heart, paint, a button, glitter and the "beautiful" is from the Princess Blush stamp set by My Mind's Eye.

I hope you all have a "beautiful" day! Thanks for stopping by my little blog! I really appreciate it!

Hugs and lottsa love...

♥ Sweet Little Girl ♥

'Monochromatic', that is this week's challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room. It is to create a card or project that uses only 1 main color and a neutral.

For my card, I used a beautiful image of a vintage carriage from The Graphics Fairy. I also used some Bazzill pink cs, pink seam binding ribbon, liquid pearls, mini roses, a paper doily and the balloons, small gift and sentiment are from the "Little Girl" stamp set by Crafty Secrets.

Here is the inside. That is a Melissa Frances rub-on. So this can be used for the birth of a little girl or a little girl's birthday.

This week's challenge winner will receive a $20 gift certificate to The Beary Scrap!

And here is this week's beautiful inspiration photo:
