CIU Challenge 335 … Monochromatic

A new Cut it Up Challenge has started. You can find the challenge HERE.

For these challenges, a die-cut is anything made with a manual or an electronic die-cutting machine. (Spellbinders, Cricut, MFT dies, Silhouette, etc.). Store bought die-cuts are also acceptable. Please note that handheld punches and/or paper-piecing DOES NOT count as a die-cut

mon·o·chro·mat·ic
/ˌmänōkrəˈmadik/
adjective
containing or using only one color

Monochromatic projects, like cards, can sometimes be a bit frustrating for me even while I enjoy the process of working within a color constraint!

I hope you find inspiration in my red & white card and I hope you check out our challenge for even more!

Card size: 5 x 7

• Butterfly punch from EK Success
• Cardstock from The Paper Studio (Base) and American Crafts
• Die unknown
• Ink Versafine Clair
• Nuvo Crystal drops
• Sentiment from Close to My Heart (You make me Happy)

Thanks for stopping and remember to stop by the challenge to check out all the DT projects and play along!
