I love the look of monochromatic cards. I made this card for this week's HAMBO Hoedown. I used Seahorse and stamped it onto some designer paper with black craft ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder. I fussy cut it and glued it onto a dark brown nestability mat. I added silver liquid pearls, silver La Mode buttons and silver twine. This card is headed to Florida to cheer up a friend of a fellow teapotter.
