Hey there folks, hope your week is going well so far.
It's been a pretty busy one for me so far with no signs of a slow down in the near future, ah well... what can you do but just hang in there. :)
Well, we've got a brand new challenge over at the ATS challenge blog today and this week we want you to create a monochromatic card. I went with green as my color because I found this cool sheet of paper in my stash that looked like the mouth of a mysterious underwater cave and I just had to run with it. Miss Current Ebbtide seemed kind of reclusive and mysterious so I wanted to color her with very light skin, like she doesn't see much sun, and a luminescent quality to her hair and tail (it's too bad the picture doesn't pick up all the sparkle I added to her). Then I paired her up with Palu because caves and octopus just seemed to go together for me. ;)
So now it's your turn to show us what you can create with just one color. Remember, every week there is a new and exciting prize being offered and in order to be eligible to win, your card must include a stamp that is sold in the All That Scraps store. Whether it is any of our wonderful in house designs or from the various other stamp companies that ATS carries, the choice is yours. Then be sure to link up your creation with Mr Linky by next Tuesday at 10pm est and only one entry per person please!
