Monochrome for Christmas Card Club

Good morning.  I'm a day early with this post because I need to post another DT card tomorrow. So this is day 2 of my 3 in a row; just like buses - none for ages then three together.

This time it is Kate's turn to choose the theme and her choice is monchrome colours.  I have chosen to use shades of teal.  When I saw this in the Winter Wonderland pad from Crafters Companion I loved it so I used is as the main part of the card. It didn't seem to need anything else so after adding the sentiment die I left it at that.




 Card # 1 - Kate


Recipe
7" square base card - Anna Marie 
Teal glitter card - Crafters Companion

Card # 2 - Rachel

Two weeks ago I missed a challenge when Rachel asked us to use turkeys, sheep or camels so I have made a card now. Many apologies Rachel.  Loved the sheep wearing the Christmas hat so here it is.

Wow!  What a wild day it was yesterday.  I hope you are all safe and sound. 

We are off to Leicester tomorrow to the Richard 111 Exhibition and the cathedral so I think it will be an interesting visit.

Take care and enjoy your weekend.

Your monochromatic card is so pretty. This was a brilliant idea to let yourDP shine through as the theme of your card. The colours are perfect for our challenge and the glittery sentiment is perfect here.

Your cheep wearing the Santa hat is priceless. Loving that fun card!
