LIM Monochrome


This week I've done 2 versions on a theme for my Less is More entry.
For my Monochrome colour I chose green.



The stamp is a 2 part stamp & I stamped the base stamp using Stazon Forest Green - looks greener in real life
I then used the lighter green to do the overstamp.
This can be varied to give a naive effect.


I used the green Stazon ink to stamp the sentiment straight onto the card.


For the second card I again stamped using the green stazon,
but this time used 3 different colours of ink 


each tone getting darker


and again positioned & stamped the sentiment straight onto the card.

Thank you for the kind comments.

Sue - The stamp is a Clear Stamp from We R Memory Keepers called Berry. I bought it when I was in Australia - haven't come across it over here as yet.
