I really wanted to make a card using a monochromatic colour scheme and pulled out the Tropical Chic stamp set to make this card. I love this stamp set but it hasn’t had much love lately.
Making the Monochromatic Tropical Chic card

I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and stamped 3 of the leaf images from the stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink, Gray Granite ink or Smoky Slate ink. I concentrated the images down the left hand side of the panel overlapping to add some dimension.

I wrapped a piece of Black Shimmer Ribbon around the panel securing it on the back with Sellotape. The layer was then added to a panel of Basic Black cardstock measuring 5 ½” by 3 ¾” using Multipurpose liquid Adhesive. This was then added to a Gray Granite card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Gray Granite ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and die cut using the Layering Oval Dies and my Big Shot. I then die cut a scalloped oval from the same die cut and glued the two layers together using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This was then added over the ribbon on Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish the card I added some Faceted Dots.
I really like the monochromatic look of this card. I hope you like it.
