PTI MIM #294: Monochrome Color Pop

This week was Stephanie's turn to challenge us for Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday. Ever heard of monochrome with a pop of color? Monochrome isn't just black and white but various tones of only one color. Looky what I created without using black and white but rather shades of brown. This should work well for masculine cards, and I need three this month so it's a start. 

Thank goodness it finally cooled down here in Western Washington, and the smoke has disappeared after some much-needed rain last night. Praying the people in British Columbia are getting some relief from their ongoing fires. 

Thanks for stopping by, and I really do appreciate your comments.

PTI September 2013 Blog Hop ~ 1st Card

Well, here I am rushing before the deadline. The challenge for PTI's blog hop was to create a card with a wreath of any kind on a festive card front. Here's my first card:

The Mehndi Medallion and sentiment were stamped using Kraft & Cherry Cobbler inks, but it's hard to see in this photo. After die cutting the center circle from the medallion, I backed the white cardstock with burgundy glittered cardstock from Joann's. The center circle of the wreath was finished off with a rhinestone.
