Tropical Chic Monochrome Card

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 

Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate it and hope you like the project. This card is for 2 blog challenges. One challenge is a colour challenge and the other is a card sketch, so I have combined the two of them, in this one card. I really loved making this card. Black and White cards a so striking and I loved the sketch challenge as well. The two blog challenges are Inspire. Create. Challenge 40 and Freshly Made Sketches #382 it is the first time I have joined in with a Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

Measurements and Materials

• Standard C6 card base in Thick Whisper White - 8 1/4" x 5 7/8"
• Tropical Escape DSP
• I chose the black and white patterned sheet
• Cut out using the largest Stitched rectangle and one 3 sizes smaller to create this thick frame
• This was popped up on dimensionals
• The sentiment is from the stamp set Very Vintage
• Stamped in Versamark onto Basic Black and heat embossed with Whisper White embossing powder
• I used the Tropical Thinlets and cut 2 large leaves in Basic black and 1 in Whisper White and then cut the leaf centres in the opposite colours to give this dramatic effect .
• Cut out with the smallest Stitched Rectangle

I love the how Black and White monochrome cards look and I loved the card sketch with its offset sentiment. Perfect to use the Stitched Rectangles with.

Freshly Made Sketches Blog Challenge

These are set every week. The sketch is used to make a 'clean' card. I love clean and simple cards which is why this blog challenged appealed to me.  You can read all about it by clicking here :-)

Inspire. Create.Challenge
