Polychromatic (polly-kro-mat-ick): having more than one color

I took a twist with this one! I ended up doing the opposite of polychromatic and came up with a monochromatic (one color) card.

My azaleas were in bloom when I was working on an idea for this class, so I decided to use the Springtime Azalea stamp and die set, and the colors from the Cherry Blossom and Green Fields ink cube sets. I was very pleased with how the main images looked.

The background needed some love, so I decided to use a faux letterpress technique. I inked one side of the Organic Linen 3-D embossing folder with Rubellite ink (from the Cherry Blossom set). One pass through my die-cutting machine, and the folder had pushed the ink into the embossed areas of the card.

I used the Halftone Hello stamp and die set some pink cardstock and Obsidian Ink (my favorite) to create a simple greeting.

I kept the color to mostly pink, in different shades. The different paper finishes, flat and embossed, make the monochrome more interesting. So while it’s a single color card, it’s not boring (at least I hope not!)

I hope you enjoyed my little color lesson! That’s all for today!

Till next time, take care and be kind,
