How to Make Monochromatic Cards Interesting
Monochromatic, or one-color, cards don’t have to be dull or boring. In fact, with some simple touches they can be quite interesting. The first key is to use two or three shades of the same color, to bring in some variety. Then add a few elements to create design interest.
Today’s card has a monochromatic palette made with two shades of purple: the lighter shade is Highland Heather, and the darker is Gorgeous Grape. Now, this card is beautiful simply because I used the Country Floral embossing folder, but it will still be pretty with a different background!

I managed to use all four of the brand new Subtles colors, plus the returning Mint Macaron. I played around on scrap paper to see how I wanted to place both the balloons and the colors and settled on the arch shape with the greens seperated.

I was making a display board with Brusho samples for my catalog launch party and I wanted at least one new card. I have a stash of background papers using various Brusho techniques. When I saw this one I immediately thought “purple daisies!”
First, a quick lesson (more…)
