Strictly Monochrome

'After the sunshine comes the rainbow!
But this is red OR yellow OR pink OR green...
This week you can do ANYTHING you like on a card BUT you can only use one colour.
I (Lythan) have been very strict with the team and quite frankly enjoy the power when they come begging to be allowed to use just a hint of one other colour. I did in the end allow black for the sentiment particularly if you do an all white card. But the real idea is to have fun with just one colour and see just what variation there is.'



Gosh, how hard was this? I really struggled with this dare, it was not the dare itself,as it was everything that a dare should be - challenging stimulating and made me think 'out of the box' but it was all the little things that I could not use; a white gel pen, black pen doodles, inking the edges of things with a brown or black inkpad.... I think that maybe I should have done this for the 'out of the comfort zone dare!.

After mush deliberation as to whether I could get away with using 99% Grey (Yeah I know, it looks black lol) or when Brown becomes Magnolia . I decided not to try and 'cheat' and use Pink, Pink, Pink and more Pink

So there you have it. Not entirely happy with the card, Josh came down stairs this morning and said 'what's that rubbish card' great! lol

I used... Blonde Moments Pink paper - it really is Pink, not white as it looks in the piccie - I was v careful not to use the bit that had a Lilac, stripe running through it :) Pink spotty paper is DCWV from Rachie's shop. Pink Brads Pink Button and Pink Ribbon are Papermania, The Pink butterflies, I stamped using a homemade stamp - cut a sizzix die from foam, inked with Pink, stamped on to Pink paper and cut out.Pink doodling - I doodled the frame too, Pink flowers from dream *designs*

Thank you Lythan for the dare - It was a super fantastic one :) The other girls have made some fantabulous pieces of art work for this dare and they are all here... Have a go :) I am sure that you can do better than I did....

TFL :)
