MFP Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge - Monochromatic Blue

 
 
This week's challenge theme at MFP Speedy Fox & Friends is monochromatic blue.
 
For my card I used the MFP Stamp Shop Dragonflies stamp set.  I sponged blue ink on the side of the white cardstock panel then stamped the dragonflies and sentiment using blue ink and colored with blue Copic Marker.  Layered the stamped panel onto navy blue cardstock, wrapped twine around and created a multi-looped bow to adhere over the twine.  The finished panel was adhered to the white card base.
 
We hope you'll share your monochromatic projects with us this week.  When you share your projects you are entered to win a stamp set from MFP Stamp Shop!  You can find the challenge HERE.

MFP Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge - Monochromatic Green

 
This week at MFP Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge we are using monochromatic green for our cards.
 
For my card I used the MFP Stamp Shop Brrr stamp set; did a little paper piecing for the hat and mittens.  The green striped DP is from my stash, the tilted green panel started out as a piece of white cardstock that I embossed using the We R Memory Keepers Next Level Basket Weave Embossing folder.  After embossing I did a direct to paper using green ink.  The snowman was fussy cut and layered onto a Lil Inkers Stitched Rectangle die cut.  A green gingham bow embellishes the card front.
 
We hope you'll share your green monochromatic cards with us.  You can find the challenge HERE.
