Monochrome at Creative Inspirations

Morning all! Hope you are well - and if not here's a big hug xxx Feeling a bit shattered imyself if truth be known. Lucy had a lovely day yesterday though and thanks so much for all the well wishes you sent for her! Here's a picture of her at her birthday tea last night - with her shop bought 1D cake!!! Its what she wanted - who am I to argue?



At Creative Inspirations (cinspirations) this week's challenge is Monochrome!
Use the original black and white theme on your creations or just shades one colour with white!
You can also use Hair / Skin Tones but NO OTHER COLOURS. I have to confess - this was my choice of challenge! Just love monochrome!

This week we have 2 prizes to give away!
The first is from CRIMSON CLOUD who are offering 1 Winner
 3 DIE CUT PACKS OF THEIR CHOICE!


The second of our prizes is from KENNY K DOWNLOADS who are giving another winner
 4 DIGI IMAGES OF THEIR CHOICE!



We are sponsored by Kenny K and I used an image called Farmer's daughter and this is what I did:






Been using the meltpot again with those flowers - tee hee - love it - will need to get one of those ginormous pots of UTEE I think!!!!! The image was coloured with promarkers and fussy cut before sticking on to a spellbinders diecut. The papers are from the linen papermania colourcapsule collection and kraft. The leaves are crafty emblies and the words come from a dylusions samp set.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Totally Papercraftstotallypapercrafts: Summer fun

sweet stampin sweetstampinchallengeblog- kraft it

  7. Ahh, Lucy looks gorgeous with her 1D cake - at least it saved you baking one (although I bet you did do some baking....). Love your card, the utee flower looks amazing and I just adore those Dyan words, they are so perfect on your lovely card. Hope you get a bit of a rest today ... Hugs, Anne x
