Monochromatic at Just Inklined

Are you ready?  It's time for another blog hop at Just Inklined!  This month, our lovely hostess is Jane, and she has chosen a Monochromatic theme.  You should have arrived here from Jane's blog, and if so.....just keep hopping along.  Remember to leave comments along the way, for your chance to win one of the spotlight prizes!


I've played with this beautiful Wedding Purse image, colouring with shades of black and grey and some clear stickles.  You'll see lots of polka dots here, and a fancy die cut frame around the image.  I've never done a black and white card before, but it does give it an elegant look.  It was also my first time for monochromatic....so much easier than I thought it would be!

Supplies used:
Nellie Snellen die - Oval Frame die set
Martha Stewart punch - 3 Dot Around the Page
Whimsy sentiment stamp - Magical Mini Letter Seals
Papermania - buttons and bow

Now, off you go to visit Jak, and have a peek at what she has been up to.  I'm listing the rest of the hop too, just in case you get lost along the way.  Have yourselves a fun time, and thanks for visiting.

Blog hop order
Jane, Joyce (that's me), Jak, Tammy, Lori, Karen

Some challenges I'll be entering:

Creative Inspirations Wednesday Challenge - #169 Anything Goes
Crafty Creations Challenge - #176 Embellish It
Totally Papercrafts - Can you digi it
