For this week's sketch challenge. Last hycct, I was fortunate to win a prize package from chic and savvy stamps. How did they know I was a fan of spellbinders? I received this circle set of nesties, along with a lovely octagonal set and a joy die cut from memory box. And the enamel dots. The tudor rose collection showed up with my Santa package to myself...
I think it turned out well. With the right toys and tools, even a monochrome card built from leftover scraps and rescue papers can look okay. imho
Photographing monochrome without natural light is hard.

Lovely card Brenda. You really aced the monochromatic color technique. I have never been able to make something this pretty with monochromatic color. You put your new toys to good use.

I won, too and got the same dies from Chic and Savy Stampers! Aren't they awesome. I love them. You really put them together with another lovely die cut in the rose. The beige and yellow together are wonderful!

Gorgeous colour; so serene and gentle! I am a big fan of swiss dots and it certainly carries its own with everything it is paired with. I love your wonderful die cut circles. This sketch seems to be made with your new goodies in mind. Beautiful card Brenda!
