Monochrome Card For Stampin for the Weekend Challenge


Hello everyone! It’s Friday and time for a new challenge over at Stampin for the Weekend! And this week I hosted the challenge!!
Before I announce the new challenge, please go check out the challenge blog, and see if maybe you made the top 3 or is the winner of the last challenge! (St Valentine’s day)
Now for this bi-weekly challenge:
Monochrome!!!
We would like to see you make a card/project in monochrome - (which is tones of one colour.)
So 
Now here is my card for this challenge:


I think it’s the first blue card I made for a lady! 
All the other blue cards I made have been for men! This card is for a special friend of mine who’s birthday is coming up soon!!


I used a stamp a friend sent me, long, long ago. Already stamped on paper and I could just colour it!
I used my Copics to colour her:
E37, E 35, E33 and E53 - for her hair
E00, E21 and R20 - for her skin
Y15, Y11 and Y00 - for the bow in her hair, her top, bottom strip of her dress and her shoes 
B05, B02 and B00 - for all the blue on the image
W3 - for a shadow around the image.


I used blue gems to give the card some spark,
and used the tool a friend gave me, to make the swirls!


I wrote “Happy Birthday” in a dark blue and stuck it on ‘n pop-up.


I stuck a blue dotted ribbon with a pearl buckle at the bottom on the right side of the card.


Here is a close up picture of the pearl buckle.
Please do hop over to Stampin for the Weekend and take part in our challenge. You also must go and see the stunning DT creations!
