Hello and happy Sunday! It's time for another challenge at
The Paper Players. This week the challenge theme is
Clean and Simple Monochromatic hosted by Sandy. I love making monochromatic cards and ended up making two cards for this challenge. The first one (see below) is a Calypso Coral and Crisp Cantaloupe color scheme with butterflies. My second card (at left) was made using my favorite
Green Monochromatic colors. The green colors used are: Garden Green, Pistachio Pudding and Wild Wasabi. I would love it if you would let me know which one you like better? My hubby picked the coral card and you'll notice I still chose to share the green card. However, this does not mean I always do the opposite of what he says (although he would debate this topic). In the end I decided to share both cards. I hope you enjoy them and will make your own monochromatic card to share at
The Paper Players (

Stampin' Up! stamp sets used include: Mixed Bunch, Blooming with Kindness and Papillon Potpourri. The Hey There sentiment is from a Paper Pumpkin kit that I altered, it used to say Hey There Friend.

These are just gorgeous! I particularly the green card with the Mixed Bunch flower. Really stunning!
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of green, so I choose the first card for my fave! I like the greens you chose, they go so well together.
ReplyDeleteI like the coral card too, the butterflies are so sweet!
Both cards are gorgeous. The green one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLove the green one! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely card. Your green card has inspired me to adapt it for some teabag fold medallions I have just made. I will post it and the rest of my teabag fold cards in a few days!
ReplyDeleteBoth are so pretty....but I do like that green one! So fresh!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely, Andrea! I love the two shades of green you combined and also the layout with the big circle on the left. So glad you were inspired to make two cards!
ReplyDeleteI love them both - but I have a soft spot for the greens. Love the layout on that one!
ReplyDeleteYou absolutely were right to do the opposite. Love it!
ReplyDeleteNICE JOB! This creation is so cool - socially and thermally! Cool design and cool colors really make a cool creation! Oh, did I say it was cool! I think so!!
ReplyDeleteHello, Andrea - I wanted to pop in and say hello! Thank you for your sweet comment today! I wanted to come over and see what you've been up to - both of these monochromatic cards are beautiful, but I think I prefer the green one best. I love the half-circle and the doily design - a very unique looking card! The coral one is gorgeous too! Hope you have been well, my friend! Take care!
ReplyDeleteAndrea, both your cards are gorgeous! I think the green one is my favorite. This sketch is awesome and the shades of green are so soothing! Fabulous work! XX
ReplyDeleteOh, these are both so pretty Andrea! I love the layout and the butterflies of the coral one but the half circle and colors of the green one grabbed me! Lovely cards to share with us!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! I really like them both but love the butterfly one. One of my favorite colors!
ReplyDeleteOh Andrea these are both lovely cards! I love the butterflies but for me the freshness of the green card puts it on my 'favourites' list!
