Some Monochromatic Inspiration

As  I've mentioned I'm a new member of the team over at Chalk N Stock and today I shared a Monochromatic inspiration card.  I have a few VersaMagic Chalk ink teardrops pads I got when I first started stamping and which have been sadly neglected for a while.   Yesterday I picked up a new Couture Creations stamp set.... They are only $6.99NZ (available HERE)  and I though it would look great done in a monochromatic look

Monochromatic

I pulled out my VersaMagic Turquoise Gem and stamped the flower corner.  I added the sentiment from the set with VersaFine Onyx Black.  Once I'd trimmed the panel I went looking for some card to mat it with.  But nothing I had looked good.  Light bulb moment.... use the ink to colour some white card.  The ink went on like chalk!!!!  sorry about that~ couldn't resist.  Truly it was so easy and went so smoothly.  And it matched perfectly.  So once I added it to a 13cm x 13cm base I decided that it didn't need any other embellishment. 

I am really pleased with the CAS look I achieved, and I hope I've inspired you to look at your chalk inks and give them a play with and join the challenge over at Chalk N Stock

It's a wintery rainy sort of day here so I'm spending some time in the craft room catching up with some DT cards and playing

This is one of my favorites ever of yours, Dawn. So hard to make a CAS and you've got it down perfectly. So lovely and simple - this design says it all.
