Today’s card was made for our latest team challenge – the theme is Monochrome. I have used the gorgeous Very Versailles stamp set and Early Espresso ink to get a sepia inspired card.
To recreate the Very Versailles Monochrome card you will need:
Early Espresso card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝ x 2 – rounded upper right corner
Early Espresso – 3” by 3”
Whisper White – 3” by 3”

I wanted the stunningly intricate frameto be the focal point of the card so began by stamping it in full strength or 1st generation Early Espresso ink. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in 1st generation Early Espresso ink.

The image was then die cut using the Stitched Shapes dies. Whilst I was at the Big Shot I die cut a slightly larger scalloped Early Espresso circle using the Layering Circle dies. The 2 circles were glued together using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the leaf image twice in 3rd generation Early Espresso ink and added the script image in 4th generation Early Espresso ink.

The border image was stamped from side to side in 2nd generation Early Espresso ink and the circle piece was added overtop on Dimensionals.

I used the same images to decorate the inside panel and the envelope.
