Hero Arts Monochromatic Challenge

The Blog's weekly challenge is to create a card with monochromatic colors.

I started this one by first trying out stamping on the flowers. It worked! I was thrilled. Then, I stamped the Raindrop Background on PTI Sweet Blush using PTI Hibiscus Burst ink. I secured a piece of Hibiscus Burst ribbon across the bottom and secured my flowers on top. Then I added some pink gemstones for the center.

I started the butterflies by stamping on PTI Hibiscus Burst cardstock in PTI Snow White ink. After lifting the stamp, I poured Hero Arts Prisma Glitter over the dots and let it sit. When it was dry, I punched out my butterflies with my new Martha Stewart punch that I bought at Michaels with a 50% off coupon. After adding some rhinestones for the body, I secured only the center to the card, and lifted their wings a little.

The sentiment is from Hero Arts Trees, Birds and Messages, stamped in - you guessed it - PTI Hibiscus Burst. You can follow comments left by others at Flickr.
