I hope your week is going well! Ericka here with another monochrome floral. I love trying to use one color in a variety of ways. Have you had a chance to play along with our challenge yet?
Here is my card, I wanted to use a fall color so I picked orange hues.
I started off by stamping the rose images on some Bristol Smooth card stock with Hero Arts Orange Soda. I then took some orange Tombow Markers to watercolor the images. After they were dry, I added in some color pencil to give the petals some texture. I fussy cut the roses and started on the background.
For the background, I started by using an old manila folder cut down. I took out orange Distress Ink paints and sprays and smooshed them on my mat to get a marbled effect. When it was dry, I used a background stamp I had in my stash and some Antique Linen Distress Ink. I spritzed the stamp with a little water and then stamped the background.
I then die cut the hello from the Hero Arts March kit five times and glued them together and used some glossy accents to add a little shine. I hope you enjoyed my card today and I can’t wait to see what you will create.

If you have been following me, it seems that lately I have a special place in my heart for blue! I thought I should change things up a bit, so I decided for a green pallet for this card.
Starting with a piece of 110lb Neenah Solar White Cardstock, I prepped my panel with an antistatic tool and inked up the Figure 8 Bold Background with Versamark ink. The entire surface was covered in white embossing powder and heat set. Using Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide ink, I ink blended on the top of the pattern ensuring I inked heaviest at the top of the panel and allowed it to fade to white at the bottom.
On a scrap piece of white cardstock, I ink blended and then die cut my Smile sentiment using the die from the Smile Stamp & Die Cut set – I cut an additional 3 sentiments out of white card stock so they all could be stacked for dimension. The sentiment strip is a white peice of cardstock stamped in Evergreen Bough Oxide ink. From a piece of vellum, I die cut a heart from the Nesting Heart Inifinity die set. I cut the stamped and inked panel down to 5.5×4 and adhered it to a top folding notecard. The die cut sentiment was added to the top of the vellum heart and added to the upper portion of the card and I then used glossy accents over the sentiment for added dimension and shine. For the smaller sentiment strip, I used foam tape to add it under the larger sentiment. To finish the card off, I added some sequins for sparkle and shine.
