Monochromatic Thank You

The goodness of this week continues... I had placed an order from PTI and was anxiously awaiting it's delivery.  When it came the other day, enclosed was my PTI 2010 Anniversary set - Botanical Silhouettes. It is a is a FREE Limited Edition stamp set circulated to loyal customers who purchased 12 qualifying stamp sets between February 2010 and February 2011. It is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!  I LOVE PTI products and service and I think it is wonderful that they have this program.

So yesterday when I went over to the Less Is More blog to see what wonderful inspiration was in store for me this week.  When I saw the challenge, I immediately knew what I would do.  The LIM divas are now back to a colour challenge and for this week they have decided to do MONOCHROME - Use shades of one color: using or displaying only shades of one color or black and white. You may choose any colour you wish, but keep all the shades you use within your chosen spectrum.

I LOVE this.  I have never done this before!!  One of the many things I LOVE about the LIM challenges is that they encourage me do things I have never done before.  It's fabulous!!  So I made 2 monochromatic cards using my new PTI set.  I am so pleased with the way they came out.  On the pink one, I put clear stickles in the flower centers. You really can's see that on the picture.

 
On the blue one, I used my clear atyou spica glitter pen to give the flowers a little sparkle.  You can't see that on this picture either. 

All of the inks I used are from Stampin' Up except for the sentiment, which is VersaFine Onyx Black.  I really enjoyed this and I can now add another style to my repertoire.  Thanks LIM divas!  Now I am going to hop on over to see what fabby creations the LIMettes have whipped up!  Thanks for stopping by!
