MONOCHROMATIC CARDS

Morning fellow bloggers and friends hope you are all well and what weather we are having April showers or should i say cloud bursts with hail in June har har well another excuse to get into the craft room yippee and this week at Less is More its monochromatic whoo hoo my favorite and once i started i couldn't stop har har so today i have 4 cards to show you oops no housework again !!!! but i really felt guilty about this and decided to actually decorate our bedroom at long last the stuff to do it was bought over two years ago shocking i hear you shout but i promise it will be done now and i will post pictures to show you
Right on to the cards i have made three cards using SU stamp set every moment with cream card stock stamped with Rich cocoa Memento ink and water coloured with a mixture of distress inks and pencils the embossed backgrounds are Cuttlebug floral screen on the bird in the bulrush and Swiss dots on the floral card and the sentiment is from a sheet that i think is woodware and punched out with a Su punch scalloped oval
the fourth card is again cream card stock the image is a Milton bear with love he is sooooo cute stamped again with rich cocoa memento ink and water coloured with distress inks i have then mounted it onto a mustard card popped it on to pads then onto the card sentiments again from the woodware sheet and punched out with Su punch modern label i have atatched them with a brad and added 3 Cardworkcards candy at the right hand side of the card not sure if i should have but they are there now !!!! let me know what you think anyway i hope you like them
Today i am entering into only one challenge and that is Less is more and this week its Monochrome not sure which card yet will decide last minute when i link up probably Milton Bear as he is my favorite and has the most clear space and this is there link
