Sparkles Monthly 'Monochromatic' Challenge

Good morning all. I hope today finds you all well even though the weather is not being to kind on us and spreading lots of colds around. 

It feels like forever since I have been on here, what with some nice person hacking my blogger account and keeping my locked out for over a week grrr, they drive me crazy what do they achieve apart from deleting a couple of posts and the hassle of getting back on NOTHING so what's the point. We then had our son and his family moving from Essex to Lincolnshire, they are finally all settled and happy in their new home. Now all I need is to keep my daughter out of hospital and eating (she is pregnant and cannot keep a thing down so is spending most of her time in hospital attached to a drip) oh and if she lived nearer than the 3 hour drive it is to get to her that would help lol.

Anyhow, enough of the rambling back to the matter in hand. This month at Sparkles Monthly we are challenging you to 'Monochromatic' so make anything you like just as long as it is all in one colour shade. We have a great sponsor this month in Crafty Ribbons and here is a little about them.

 
Crafty Ribbons is a ribbon emporium, we are passionate about ribbons and want to share our fantastic ribbons with others. Our range of Christmas ribbons is second to none.
Remember when we only used ribbons to add a bow to our hair, or tie up a birthday parcel? Ribbons are now a "must-have" for all types of craft. Whether your project requires satin, sheer, silk, grosgrain, gingham or polka dot ribbon we have them all! Lots and lots of different colours in a range of widths.
Need a little bit of ribbon inspiration - then have a look at our projects on our blog,or visit our Inspiration blog,or maybe join in with us at our Challenge blog. Go on, have a look... It's worth it !

For my card I decided to make the base from a sheet of Bazzill cutting it down to 6" x 12" and folding it top to bottom. I then used the Kaisercraft 'Script' stamp on the top and bottom section stamping it with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink although it doesn't show up very well in the photo. I added a strip of Dotted Bazzill to the middle before adding this lovely Loni Leah Designs die cut with a Create With TLC freebie sentiment in the middle. A few gems to finish it off, this was really easy to make and yet I like the effect and simplicity of it.

Supplies:-

Card Stock - Bazzill

Stamp - Kaisercraft 'Script'

Ink - Tim Holtz Distress 'Tumbled Glass'

Die Cut - Silhouette Store by Loni Leah Designs 'Dotted Flourish Label' i.d num 21566
