| Welcome to Challenge 2. Today is all about the monochromatic card. I chose to use blue so that way I could use this card for boy themed card, in addition to various other possibilities. I used the same blue Core'dinations cardstock but scored it and embossed it with two different textures. Remember, the point of these challenges is to have a variety of cards ready for any occasion to try and reach for some different colors. You may use any neutral you want...black, gray, white, kraft..but the majority of the card must be monochromatic. Remember to link back here with your finished card by August 17 midnight PST. | |

| sooo pretty, Ellen! Love the scored diagonals on your card and that May Arts ribbon is just perfect here! I'm not so much into monochromatic cards.. so let's see if I will come up with an idea... | |

| Pretty cards, ladies! This one will be more of a challenge for me... I usually use brighter color combos. But see, this will get me out of my box! Thanks for the fun challenges, Ellen! I hope you're feeling much better today!! | |

| Ohhhh Sherry and Tracy, your cards are both gorgeous!!! I wish I could do this monochromatic thing as half as good as you did! But it's really so not my style *lol* But anyway.. a challenge is a challenge.. and it would be boring to always do the same things over and over again... so here's my card

Melonie, That is a QuicKutz die (reuse is the font name); it came with shapes & alphas. | |
