Welcome to the weekend

Morning all,

It is my turn to present a challenge on a private blog I belong to and below is the make I chose for it. I've gone with "TONAL STENCILLING" and/or "MONOCHROME" in case there are those who don't actually like stencilling but perhaps would prefer the flexibility of a monochrome colour scheme. I used just one colour of ink (dis-counting the black of the sentiment) for my background colour which I then used to stencil over the panel and also to ink my focal image .... I was lucky to have the neon pink matting card in my collection otherwise I would have had to stamp/stencil/colour the matting layers border myself too! Hope they like this theme and I hope you like my card too.

And a closer view of my stencilled panel

 

The front, back and inside of my card along with the front and back of my envelope

Materials used:

• White A2/C6, 250gsm, card and matching sized envelope
• Two white card panels, cut to fit
• One neon pink card panel, cut to mat
• Using a rectangular die cut and a piece of card, cut to the same size as my image panel, I cut my mask and used washi tape to secure it in place before applying the fuchsia ink with my blending brush.
• With the mask still in place I placed the stencil over the coloured panel and applied more ink
• After removing the mask and stencil I stamped the image using the same ink - giving three tones of the identical colour
• JOFY sentiment stamped using black ink
• Stardust stickles used to bling up the image

I'll be entering the above for the following challenges:-

1. Addicted to Stamps and More - challenge No. 286 - ANYTHING GOES
2. Creative Knockouts - challenge No. 240 - ANYTHING GOES
3. Cute Card Thursday - challenge No. 524 - ANYTHING GOES
4. Crafting With An Attitude - challenge No. 38 - ANYTHING GOES

And I really liked the card I made yesterday .... so decided to try a different colourway AND go for tone on tone, same as the above (but pink) make!. IMHO I think it looks pretty cool in brown too. Although the matting layer LOOKS black in the photo it is actually a rich chocolate brown - and looks triffik with the rich cocoa

Materials used:

• White 12½cm square, 250gsm, card and matching sized envelope
• Two pieces of white card cut to fit
• One piece of dark brown card, cut to mat
• Using my die "stencil" taped in place with washi tape I applied the rich cocoa ink using the Aldi blending brush.
• Once I'd laid down the background colour I then applied the same colour through stencil #357 over the entire area then the chevrons from #603 and the lines from #313 before removing the homemade stencil.
• Kanban flora also stamped using the rich cocoa ink
• Sentiment stamped using tuxedo black ink
