Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Monochromatic Challenge! Since I already did a Fall card in rust tones, I decided to lean more into the Spooky Season and go with gray tones for this card. I knew it would be the perfect color palette for the Wild Wolves and Wolf Before ’n Afters. I stamped them all out with Jet Black Ink, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.


For the background, I started with a piece of Bristol Cardstock and blended on Distress Oxide Inks, starting with Pumice Stone for the glow around the moon, then working outward with Hickory Smoke, and Black Soot around the edges. Then I splattered on some water and also a bit of the Black Soot, before adding in some Gansai Tambi Starry Colors for stars.


While that was drying, I die cut the Spooky Forest Backdrop out of Storm Cloud Cardstock, and a Simple Stitched Hillside Border out of Narwhal. Then I stamped the sentiment in Storm Cloud Ink onto Fog Cardstock and trimmed that down with an Everyday Sentiment Banner. I adhered the background to the card base, then glued the hillside over top, then popped up the Spooky Forest Backdrop die cut with foam tape. I adhered my images and sentiment with a combo of foam tape and liquid glue and finished with some Iridescent Stars and a bit of Stardust Stickles.


If you’d like to watch how this card came together, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty! We hope you’re enjoying our Monochromatic challenge. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Thank you for this wonderful inspiration, Christy!

Samantha created a beautiful card in lovely shades of green!


Samantha began her study in green by water-coloring with Distress Inks in Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron and Squeezed Lemonade.


Next, she die-cut the Stitched Poinsettia leaves from Cilantro cardstock, inking each leaf with more Pine Needles Distress ink. She also cut more leaves from vellum to let the background colors show through. She arranged the leaves in a wreath design before adding machine stitching.


Last, Samantha added a white embossed greeting from Mice on Ice!

Thank you for sharing this amazing inspiration, Samantha!

Mimi pieced together a lovely aqua quilt using Honeycomb Backdrop! We hope this creative design will inspire your weekend crafting!


Mimi shopped her stash of 6×6 papers for shades of aqua to create a beautiful, quilted background. The Honeycomb Backdrop features stitched hexagons that look just like quilt pieces.


Next, she assembled an adorable quilting bear by combining the Sewn with Love sewing machine, a “quilt” from Crazy Antics and the bear from Snow Much Fun! Such a brilliant idea!


Then she used Sewn with Love to add a sweet message!

Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us today, Mimi! I love the quilt theme!
