\n<\/a>The color I went with for my monochrome card is\u00a0red. I thought it would stand out well against all the white space. I had two partial sheets, one w\/ a faint woodgrain pattern, the other w\/ tiny white stars so the layout evolved around these pieces. The USA map <\/a><\/span><\/strong>was stamped on a white pierced panel & I had to tilt it a bit & move HI & AK a bit to fit around the greeting<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. The die cut Concho (from the Bandana die<\/strong><\/a><\/span>) was added in the corner along with a punched state of TX & little heart. I have several sizes of TX punches\/dies & I chose it because I’m a TX native, it’s in the middle & the shape is easily recognizable. \ud83d\ude00 And I love the concho..it reminds me of the Texas Ranger badge & a couple\u00a0of my ancestors were\u00a0TX Rangers. But this map would work great with any state you want to highlight.
\nHere’s a look at the inside using the last bits of leftover paper.

\n<\/a>I\u00a0needed a card for a friend who’s not been feeling well, and normally I wouldn’t make this cute little piglet so pink, but since it’s monochromatic, I needed him to go with the paper. This is also for\u00a0SweetMissDaisy’s Dare to Get Dirty Challenge.\u00a0The details are\u00a0HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, but you’ll need to be a\u00a0Fan Club<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0member…it’s easy, just click to find out how.\u00a0<\/span>

\n<\/a>For the Piggy<\/strong>,<\/a><\/span> I used my Misti to stamp her with Memento, colored with Copics, then over stamped using Versafine. Love how it really brings out the details! I did move the little flowers from the image in order to make way for the Out\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/span>of<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0Snorts<\/strong><\/a><\/span> greeting. \u00a0I added a couple of die cut frames around her then stamped the flower<\/a><\/span><\/strong> on both papers and fussy cut.\u00a0<\/span>
