For today's share I chose a monochromatic design which is not something I have a whole lot of experience with. Typically when I sit down to make a card I have at least 2 colours plus a basic that I work with - but as I got creative on this one that all changed. I found that no matter what I tried colours seemed to be fighting and I couldn't get any combination of patterns to work quite right. So I gave in and kept it simple.
The stamp set on the focal panel is from the CTMH retired Blossom Blocks set which I haven't used in eons!! I stamped it then cut it out with my Nestabilities Scalloped Circle and the Cuttlebug. It's funny, I think we all have a tendency to use what's new and forget about some of the older items in our stash - so it's nice once in a while to go a little bit old school and breathe some new life into those older images.
So I leave you with a challenge - go to your craft cupboard and find a stamp set that you haven't used in a long time and show it some ink, like I did! Remember, whatever you choose to use, you bought it back then because you loved it and you still can!
Let me know how you make out - post your card online and pop back here to send me the link - I'd love to check it out!
