Art With Heart March Creative Showcase - Monochromatic Cards






Hello and welcome,

This month the Art With Heart Team are featuring Monochromatic cards, that is cards that only use different shades of the same colour. This is a great opportunity for us to demonstrate the wonderful range of Stampin’ Up! colours across our inks, papers and embellishments that can be combined to produce the amazing monochromatic samples we have to share with you.


The colour I have chosen is Sahara Sand, it’s such a beautiful soft neutral colour and blends well with Shimmery White Cardstock. I’ve used a variety of techniques, textures and medium to achieve this look for my card.


I’ve started off with the card base in Sahara Sand Cardstock and I’ve lightly sponged the edges with Ink. The next layer I’ve created my own DSP using a strip of Shimmery White Cardstock, Aqua Painter, Sahara Sand Ink and ruled lines on the strip of Cardstock. The other panel is a piece of Sahara Sand Cardstock, stamped Ink using the larger splatter stamp from the Painted Poppies Stamp Set and I’ve created a background for my card. I wanted a vintage look so I ran the panel through my die cutting machine with the Subtle Embossing Folder and roughed up the edges with my paper snips.


To create the Poppies, I’ve used Shimmery White Cardstock, stamped in Sahara Sand Ink and lightly water coloured the Poppies. Before I attached the Poppies to the Cardstock, I added the die cut of the stitched circle swirl and sponged Sahara Sand Ink with the Sponge Dauber onto the swirl.


I really love the Scalloped Lace Trim combined with the Linen Thread and Bird Ballad Trinkets together. This gives the card a vintage look and to finish off I’ve added a few Pearls. The sentiment is from the Forever Blossoms Stamp Set, which is just stunning and I love the font.




The next demonstrator to share her monochromatic project is the amazingly talented Catherine Proctor

  6. Vicki, this is a very special card. I LOVE it! I can see this card sitting in its cellophane bag in a boutique card shop with a very expensive price tag - it has that look to it, and would be worth every cent.
