Three in One

I combined 3 Operation Write Home/Stars and Stamps challenges.

1. The ABCs of Color (Basic Color Theory) OWH Design Bootcamp
3. Midweek Throw Down: Show Us Your Green

I didn't realize how hard a monochromatic card would prove to be. I wanted to add another color, but I restrained myself.


Layering the print die onto 2 layers of the same die cut from card stock and adding Glossy Accents makes the flower pop on the card. To lift the top of the flower a bit more, I used "Power Tabs" from Tombow. They're clear! I use these tabs when the white of regular pop dots is easy to see.

Stampin' Up - Brights Collection, Old Olive
Glossy Accents
Hero Arts - Classic Messages, white embossing powder
Tombow - Power Tabs

  3. Marvelous paper choices Dixie! Monochromatic can be tough I agree but I have been having the hardest time with Analogous combos myself. I love the layering detail!

  8. Fantastic card Dixie... and good job combining 3 challenges. Love all the layers and shades of green. This is an inspiration card for me. I have such trouble matching shades and patterns of green that I avoid this color. Now I know it can be done beautifully so I'll keep trying. Thanks so much for playing!

  10. Dixie,

    3 challenges in 1?! Way to go!

    I love this monochromatic take on this week's sketch. And, the combination of the different patterns is really well done. (And, it looks like I need to give Glossy Accents a try!) TFS!!!
