Mono - one
Chrome - Colour
Todays' Inksomniacs team Blog Hop is all about one colour - any colour you like in fact. We are hopping together as a team to share some inspiration for a Monochrome hop. With the end of Sale A Bration nearing it is important to mention you need to be quick to get a hold of your favourite FREE items before they are gone for good. I will admit to stashing more than a little of the beautiful free shimmer ribbon.
Whoops off track - for this hop I have pulled out Hello Friend from the Annual Catalogue and using the colours featured in there I picked my ONE. Calypso Coral is my Monochrome colour of choice but I believe this would look great in any colour.
I have added some texture to my card which the lighting for the photo didn't show well - however here is a little tip - don't hoard embossing powder it mmm changes colour as it ages. Both of these samples the embossing powder is white - one is the new tub and the old well lets say the little I have left might need to go as its more vanilla in colour now.
A special card needs a special envelope so both the front and back have been stamped today. I then followed through onto the inside - note the lovely Calypso Coral card strip feature - yep it hides a smudge lol. Can you see the shiny text - I do love embossing and this stamp looks perfect embossed - ink your stamp with Versamark then Calypso Coral, stamp it then sprinkle with clear Emboss powder, heat and voila shiny embossed coloured text!
