CASology 134 - Monochrome



This week's CASology Cue Card is Monochrome!



During the week, the DT had various discussions about the meaning of monochrome - all one colour? Different shades of one colour?  Black and white only? What we agreed is that monochrome does NOT have to be monotonous!

I decided to use blue and to also play along with One-Layer Simplicity #13 - You blend. I masked a triangular portion of my card and sponged on various blue distress inks. The arrow shape points your eye from left to right, but by using a big Technique Tuesday YOU, the card still feels balanced.

Now it's your turn - we can't wait to see your creations for this challenge! Here are links to the blogs of the rest of the DT members - check them out for more inspiration!

    Ardyth, your sponging is perfect! Tracey mentioned that during your recent crafting get-together, you shared your technique! Please, please: can you do so here (photos, videos, anything and everything!) - but only if you have time. My attempts are...well, bleak!
