Monochrome ATC

Morning as Angie's Digital Stamps are sponsoring Crafty Friends her DT were invited to be GDT and the challenge is Monochrome-so I made an ATC using Box Of Crayons,coloured with promarkers.I made the background by splashing Cosmic Shimmer Chalk spray in dark blue onto pale blue card for contrast-quite liked the effect so next time will go bigger lol-I then used it on a dark blue spirelli shape and added silver so got a bit of sparkle,found a pale blue die-cut circle in box,stamped the sentiment added a paper clip and metal button brad from stash-and used silicone between layers for dimension oh also added an oddment strip of B.paper onto dark blue cardstock onto base card.

Simply beautiful in blue! At first thought the spirelli weaving was folds, until I read the post. Now that is inspired designing...so much texture. I like the different shades of blue - more depth & texture. Great job on this one, and looking forward to more like this! TFS & Hugs
