DeNami Blog Hop - Monochromatic

Hi everybody



DeNami April Blog Hop


Welcome to the DeNami Blog Hop, today it's all about monochromatic!  I have really enjoyed making a card for this because I rarely do monochromatic cards, I always tend to add in lots of different colour, although if you look very carefully you will see I did have to add in a teeny weeny bit of green on my middle robot just so that my sentiment would work!  Cheating?  Probably, but I'm hoping I won't be in too much trouble ;o)  I didn't quite plan my card well enough before I started!

Here is my card..


I used the little 'Friendly Robot' for my card, he's just SO adorable and great fun to colour too!  I often go for elegant on these hops but this time I thought I'd just go for something fun.  I think the card is pretty self explanatory so other than using my Copic markers to colour them in I just used up a scrap of polka dot paper, twine from The Twinery and Lawn Fawn 'Harold's ABC' for the sentiment, plus a little MME button to finish.  (If anyone can tell me how best to photograph Cryogen cardstock I would be really grateful.  I found it quite difficult with the shimmer!)

Here are  the details of the hop..

    I think you're safe, Ruby. I can't see the green! I LIKE that you picked orange, a color that I'm not very good friends with, but love to see what others do. The robots are so cute!

    Ruby, this card is just too fun! Love that you broke up the streak of greens and browns with your ORANGE card. Love that you "cheated" just a tad too, totally fine in my book. ;)
