AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 46: Smoky Slate

 


This week some members of the Art with Heart Team are creating with Smoky Slate, as part of the Weekly Colour Creations Blog Hop.

 

A very simple card from me this week – I’ve only used Smoky Slate and Basic White cardstock and no DSP.


The stamped flower image is from Ranunculus Romance. It has been cut using a coordinating die from Ranunculus  dies. I actually cut this twice – one is the stamped image (on Basic White) whilst the second was cut from Smoky Slate cardstock (no stamping). I used the Smoky Slate piece to (hopefully) create a “shadow” effect. Do you think it worked?

 

The greeting is from Happiness Abounds and is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Looking at the card now as I'm writing this post, I am thinking that a "sympathy" greeting may have been more suitable - oh well!

 

I have used three of the Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots that I used in the last Colour Creations Blog Hop, but this time I used White dots. 


The inside of the card has been decorated with a simple stamped image – just a portion of the flower that is on the front of the card.

    Fiona, your monochrome card is very elegant and yes, I think using the Smoky Slate piece to create a shadow effect definitely worked!

    The simplicity of this image makes a lovely statement, and I like the stamped flower inside the card too Fiona.

    Love all the white space on your monotone card, Fiona. Sometimes simple is a great way to go, and you've achieved a wonderful card.
