Monochrome at Indigo Blu

Hello lovelies! I'm scheduling this post as its my birthday - I was out last night and will be out this morning too! Busy busy! Anyway - I had a stack of cards waiting to open so I hope they're all handmade ones!!! Lol!!! If you have sent one - thanks in advance - I will add a piccie of all the handmade ones I get to tomorrows post.

Todays post them - its all about monochrome at Indigo blue - I've used a couple of their stamps to make this:


I made the background using a combination of distress stains and inks - I chose reds as it was a monochrome challenge - some of them look fairly orange in the picture! I also used stencils from TH and imagination crafts.


The poppies were coloured with spectrum noirs and fussy cut.


I love this verse - it appeals to inner hippy!

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

tuesday throwdowntuesdaythrowdown: use paint or mists
PTWpapertakeweekly: Ag with option of summer
mmcsmymumscraftshop: ink it up
artisitic stampertheartisticstampercreativeteam: colour it red

Thanks for looking today and I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday!

Hugs
