Monochrome

Monochrome for Make My Monday - how's that for alliteration?? - actually they are asking for a monochrome clean and simple card this week.  This is a style I shy away from mainly because of the distinct possibility, in my case, of getting unwanted marks or smudges, however I've managed a relatively clean result today (just don't ask why I decided it needed a tiny butterfly!!!).  Stamps are from Stampin' Up Summer Silhouettes set, recently acquired, cut out with Nestabilities.  Shades chosen were Perfect Plum and Pale Plum and the sentiment is a clear stamp from my colllection.  I think the CAS style is actually suited to cards for the less happy situations.  Do take a look on their blog to see what the design team have produced and maybe have a go yourself.

    Love the trellis effect combined with the scalloped rectangle border. I expect the butterfly flew onto the card & got stuck in some glue.........
    The soft colours are beatifully apt & I love the softness of the colours.

    Well done on a lovely CAS card, I'm like you afraid of getting mucky finger prints on it somewhere.
