This is for today's Free for All Challenge #50: go ALMOST all one color. There are only a few rules to this:
1. You may use either white or vanilla cardstock
2. Plus, you may use ONE neutral (gray, brown, black, kraft, etc.) cardstock
3. AND, you may use ONE other color of cardstock
4. ALL stamping must be in the same color – the main image, background image and sentiment must match
I have (1) white CS, (2) black CS as my neutral, (3) purple CS as my other color. I thought that I had this challenge nailed, until I started uploading and noticed that I failed #4--I stamped purple snowflakes in the background and black everywhere else. Oops! So I guess this is almost "Almost Monochrome." So sorry, everybody!
This is also for the new Flourishes Winter Thaw February release challenge, which is to be inspired by THIS photo.
The ribbon is actually vintage seam tape from my Gramma's sewing basket.
Thanks for taking a peek!

Yeah, it was REALLY hard to only use one ink, but your almost almost card is really lovely. It's fun seeing all the different colours people chose to use.

Oh wow, Emily, this color combo is GORGEOUS!! And I love the sentiment, and I'm thinking there's an awful lot of people who are experiencing this sentiment in real life lately!! The seam binding and bling are so lovely.
