Hi Everyone,
If your looking for my BunnyZoe DT challenge card please scroll down one.
I'm back. I know two posts in one day, lol. This is my DT card for Live and Love Crafts where this week the DT will be inspiring you with Monochromatic projects. I'll let you into a little secret, when I joined my very first challenge team and I learnt one of the themes was Monochromatic I wanted to hide under the table, I never thought I would be able to do it, the theme just scared me soooo much and so did white on white. But now I have to say I love it, and my favourite colours are all the cream and browns, so guess what colours I used today, lol.
I have used papers called Riddersholm Design called Tea Room and used both sides of the Riddersholm Fleamarket Notes. All panels have been stitched. The image is by Sarah Kay called Noel Joy and I have had her in my collection for a couple of years now and this is her first time meeting ink, OMG how bad is that.
I have coloured her in vintage photo distress ink and cut out the panel with a spellbinders die and layered onto another spellbinders scalloped oval and a spellbinders floral oval, I must have a thing about spellbinders at the moment, lol. I added some tulle pleat trim , around the floral oval before mounting onto the papers.
Have you seen the beautiful Bark Hearts. Priced at just 99p and you get four. Don't they just look fab for Vintage cards and would look fab on Valentine cards too. I added a Vintage Findings Beaded Centre and some Shabby Seam Binding. The text, "For You", is from Maja Design It's Christmas Time Die Cut Sheet. As you can see, it's not just for Christmas.
In the top left I have used a Gardenia flower coupled with some gorgeous Kort and Godt Chrysanthemum's which I was very lucky to win before Christmas, and swirled with the 3mm and 8mm string pearls.
The edges were distressed with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a sprinkling of Snow Tex, here and there. Told you I loved this stuff, lol.
A close up of the gorgeous brass butterfly with added pearls and a dusting of snow tex, he he he, it gets everywhere.
The whole image was coloured with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
Oh I nearly forgot there are two pins tucked away under my bark heart embellishment arrangement, one of the berries pins and one of the vintage brown hat pins, yum.
Lastly I finished off with some cream organza roses and some of the new lovely Cluny Lace with threaded trim.
I hope I have inspired you today and I look forward to reading your comments. As always click on any of the pictures below which are directly linked to the product in the LLC store.

Hiya Tracy. I am really liking the shabby chic, romantic, vintage feel you have going with this card.
Thank you for sharing x
Got one word for you: F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C! Brown is my favourite when it comes to monochrome, and you've totally nailed it with this one! The colouring is out of this world and I can't get over how much stuff you manage to fit onto your cards! :-)
