Monochromatic From Our House To Yours

Posted on November 24, 2019November 18, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a Monochromatic From Our House To Yours Christmas Card which I made a while ago for a team challenge. I love these challenges as they really push you out of your comfort zone and force you to use different products, colours or layouts than you would normally choose.

To recreate the Monochromatic From Your House To Yours card you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Most Wonderful Time dsp – 5¼” by 3⅜” – rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5” by 3⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜ by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner – for the inside

Taking the smaller panel of Whisper White I drew a light pencil line about an inch from the bottom. I used the line to position the house as I have real problems stamping straight……

I stamped the central house in Old Olive ink and added the roof in Shaded Spruce ink. The house to the right was stamped in Granny Apple Green ink and the roof in Mossy Meadow ink.

The small house on the left was stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink and the roof added in Garden Green ink. The trees were added in Shaded Spruce.

Welcome to the December Hopping Around the World blog hop where our theme is ‘our favourite stamp set’. Oh my goodness this was a hard challenge, so many gorgeous stamp sets and bundles to choose from………..……. I eventually settled on the beautiful Free As A Bird stamp set and made a Christmas card for my Mum who loves robin redbreasts.

I stamped the single bird onto the square of Whisper White in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and added a sray of leaves above before die cutting the bird out using the Layering Circle dies. I also cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from the square of Mossy Meadow. I adhered the 2 circles together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I stamped the spray of leaves again on scrap Whisper White and fussy cut the leaves with my sharp scissors.

Using the following Blends Markers I coloured in the the bird and leaves – Mossy Meadow combo, Crumb Cake combo and Calyso Coral combo. I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink onto the card front and added the circle piece to the card front on Dimensionals.

I die cut a flower from scrap Poppy Parade cardstock using the Bouquet Bunch dies and added the trimmed out leaves and the flower to the circle using Mini Glue Dots. A single Gold Metallic Pearl was added to the card front to finish the card.

I really loved the card, so much so that I went ahead and made a second landscape version using a Soft Sea Foam card base and a 2” by 4” panel of Whisper White. The bird and leaves were stamped on the Whisper White panel and coloured in the same way and I used the Banner Triple Punch to flag the end.
