Hey y'all it's Stephanie here with a brand spankin' new challenge for you! Today I'm challenging you to make a monochromatic layout or project. Here's what I came up with:
supplies: Fall Fashion (Autumn Press); Steamer Trunk (Autumn Press); Rose Bud (Autumn Press), Frolic (Autumn Press); Love Bird (Memoir) ; Die Cut- Cream Ledger; Chipboard Butterflies (Studio Calico and Sassafras); Mister Huey's in Cameo; Butterfly Mask; Scrap Pads (Autumn Press); FabRips (Autumn Press); Alpha Stickers (Autumn Press); Addy Alphabet Stickers; Die Cuts (Martha Stewart); Heart (October Afternoon); Pen (American Crafts)
As you can see, i went with pink. Shocking. I know. heeee! I wanted to use the Love Bird script paper but it wasn't pink, so I misted it with cameo mist. I used butterflies throughout, from the mask to the chipboard. This supports the theme of flying.
I just went with as much layering of pink elements as possible. From the stickers to the papers to the embellishments, to the bow (a FabRip)...all pink.
So go for it! All one color. You can DO it! I can't wait to see what you come up with!! Post your link here by Monday, January 23 for your chance to win a SC GC.
Happy Creating!
I LOVE your FabRip bow!! LOVELY page as usual Stephanie!!

Love your sweet journaling Steph.

I am excited that I completed the challenge AND got my layout posted. This was a fun challenge. I decided to go with pink since I have 2 girls. Also, I loved that piece of pink pp in this month's kit. Here is my link: http://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/53646-6-months
