Monochromatic Doilies

I absolutely love monochromatic cards, so I just had to do the challenge with Hand Stamped Sentiments this week.  The sketch I've used is this weeks' Splitcoast Sketch Challenge.

I dug out my Flirtatious Specialty paper and used the Wisteria Wonder along with Crushed Concord.  It's the first time I've used fabric with my Big Shot - but since it matched I just had to!!!   For the doilies on the Wisteria paper I used white embossing powder.  I didn't want to clutter things up with another punched piece for a sentiment, so I decided to use Staz On to stamp on the jumbo brad.

The first day of school was good - I love doing door supervision in the morning because I get to greet everyone!  And I tell ya - I don't think I'm going to have any problem with working half days!

Hope your day has been fantastic also - thanks for visiting.

Ohhh, {sigh} how I love this set. This is beautiful! Love the white embossing and the fabric. Great idea. Don't worry Joan, about the new punches in my stamp room. Wish I could say I thought to store them open but I saw it somewhere else. That's the beauty of the stamping/blogging world of today:) Thank you for joining us at HSS!

Okay, I have to say I really loved your card when I first looked at it, but after reading about it, I bet it just feels so yummy, too! So many great elements and I agree, monochromatic is so fun. Thank you for sharing your beautiful artwork at Hand Stamped Sentiments!!!
