Monochrome Rose

I hope your week is going well! Have you had a chance to play along with A Blog Named Hero monthly challenge? I love trying to use one color in a variety of ways.

Here is my card, I wanted to use a fall color so I picked orange hues.

I started off by stamping the rose images on some Bristol Smooth card stock with Hero Arts Orange Soda. I then took some orange Tombow Markers to watercolor the images. After they were dry, I added in some color pencil to give the petals some texture. I fussy cut the roses and started on the background.

For the background, I started by using an old manila folder cut down. I took out orange Distress Ink paints and sprays and smooshed them on my mat to get a marbled effect. When it was dry, I used a background stamp I had in my stash and some Antique Linen Distress Ink. I spritzed the stamp with a little water and then stamped the background.

I then die cut the hello from the Hero Arts March kit five times and glued them together and used some glossy accents to add a little shine. I hope you enjoyed my card today and I can’t wait to see what you will create.

PS I also entered this in the Simon Says Monday Challenge – Monochrome and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge – Anything Goes
