This is my submission for today's Color Challenge - to make a monochromatic card. It is also for the Saturday challenge over at Our Creative Corner which this week was to make a birthday card. http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.c...challenge.html
I love using paint samples for monochromatic cards because they already give you different shades of the same color. I used a paint chip that had saffron as the color family. I stamped the flowers onto the paint chip with Versamark and embossed with saffron colored EP that was in a set I got from AC Moore. I did the same with the birthday sentiment. Ribbon and brads finished it off.
Thanks, Emily, for another great color challenge and Dawn, for OCC birthday challenge!
TFL!

Oh Carla, this was a perfect color pallette for this image... which BTW I am in love with. Have tried and tried on ebay but they go too high for my wallet! But this is great! Love the way you used paint chips to get the graded shades.... yet stayed monochromatic... just perfect!
