Marvelous Monochrome

Good morning everyone....at least I think it's morning, the sun is shining.  Yesterday was another crazy day with an evening emergency keeping me out until one in the morning.  But here we go, with my card for the Charisma challenge.


A little bit of everything here, but no image!  Nice and easy to do, once I came up with the idea.  I've embossed the card blank, stamped and inked with blue distress ink, used a couple of dies, some gems and a pretty ribbon that I won from Sew Sweet .....doesn't it make a lovely bow!

Supplies used
Wallpaper background stamp from Impression Obsession
Romantic Rectangles die from Spellbinders
and the butterfly which uses a Magnolia die

For this week's challenge at Charisma, you need to make a monochromatic card....but first, be sure to check out the wonderful projects from the DT.  With all that inspiration, I'm sure you'll find the time to join us this week, for your chance to win one of the lovely prizes offered by our sponsors.
