Monochromatic purple for Country View Challenges

Hello friends. Today I am sharing my 2nd design team make for our current challenge over at Country View Challenges. For this month's challenge we would like to see your monochromatic makes. 

As always there is a fab £20 voucher up for grabs for one lucky randomly selected winner to spend on the website.  You can find all the details of the challenge and more examples made by my talented teamies here.

People often think that monochromatic means using just black and white but it means using all the tones and hues of a single colour and can also include black and white. 

For my first make I went with orange, never my first choice but I really liked it.  I decided to play with something very different again for me, shades of purple. My lovely summer bedding pots again provided my inspiration for today's make.

This is what I got up to;

I worked with the gorgeous dragonfly Visible Image set which is on the website here;

The incredibly versatile fibres stencil

and another sentiment from this lovely set. 

I added a little oxide spray to watercolour card.

Then I inked up the stencil with these 3 distress inks. 

I stamped, cut out and coloured the large butterfly and 2 of the medium sized.

Next I heat embossed the sentiment.

and stamped some of the element stamps from the dragonfly set.

I also made up 2 of the medium sized dragonflies in the set in the same way. I assembled my card, adding some sequins as a final touch. 

Here is my finished card;

a couple of close ups 

and one last shot;

I hope I may have inspired you to join in with our August "monochromatic" challenge. You can use any stamps/products, the choice is yours. 

You can enter our challenge as many times as you like and combine with other challenges. There is also a £20 crafting voucher up for grabs to the lucky randomly selected winner to spend over on the Country View Crafts on line store. Once again all the details for the August challenge can be found here.
