CASology Week 134: Monochrome





Hello and happy Tuesday.  It's time for another cue word at CASology.  This week, our cue word is MONOCHROME.  I looked this one up, not being exactly sure of the meaning.  Here is one of the meanings from Dictionary.com:  a painting or drawing in different shades of a single color.

 I had an idea to use a paint chip and some inlaid die cutting.  You may have seen me use paint chips here.  The card I am showing today was actually the first one I made.  The blue one came later, when I still had the paint chips still sitting out on my desk.




I die cut the word 'happy' using a die from Embellished Elegance, and then filled the space with several layers of the same die cut word in white.  I made those sequins using a sequins die from Lil Inkers, using extra bits of the same paint chip and then covering them with Glossy Accents.

A few days ago, I was lucky enough to meet one of my CASology teammates in person, when she was in San Diego on vacation.  We talked and laughed, and then shopped for crafty supplies together. She has a heart of gold, and it was so nice to get to meet her in person.


I hope you will play along with us this week, and show us how you are inspired by the word MONOCHROME.






Thanks for Visiting

    Sorry, but the first thing I noticed was you wearing a sleeveless blouse. I am so jealous since we are experiencing minus degree weather here. Maybe I should come pay a visit. ;-) Love the paint chip card, Joyce. I'm having lunch tomorrow near a paint store. I just might stop in.

    What a great paint chip card Joyce. Kimberley mentioned she was meeting with a blogging friend and I assumed it was you - how nice to get to meet one another. We are a wee bit spoiled in this marvelous weather and sometimes I feel guilty. I lived at 7,000 feet for 16 years I'll take the beach.

    The paint swatch is a neat idea for a monochrome card--even more nifty is using it for the inlay technique.
