Smoky Slate Wondrous Wreath Christmas Card

by Joanne James3. December 2014 10:00

Today's second creative post is for this week's Colour Me...! card challenge where we are working with a monochromatic colour scheme of Smoky Slate:

  

I love this week's inspiration photo - so cute! I went with a Christmas card today, although not a snowflake or sleigh in sight:

Today's card proved difficult to photograph, but I can attest that the silver embossed berries, bow and sentiment add a lovely touch of sparkle to this monochromatic card.

Feel free to leave a comment on today's card, before hopping over to check out the amazing cards by the rest of the Colour Me...! team:

I have another card tomorrow using this colour scheme too, so pop back and take a look! We look forward to seeing your monochromatic creations - what does this palette inspire you to create? 
 
Back tomorrow with another project; until then, happy stampin'!

This is gorgeous, Joanne!  I know what you mean about taking a picture.  These colors do not photograph well!  I really love the way the grays work together on your beautiful card!  XX

WOW.  This is absolutely beautiful!  The monochrome looks fabulous--and I totally feel you!  It is hard to photograph certain cards, especially when it's the same color layered!  But I think this is gorgeous!  I would love to have you to come and join the blog hop over at House of Cards.  We have prizes and I'd love to see what you create with our photo inspiration!  HUGS!

This is stunning. I love the grays.I'll need to experiment with other than green colors for the wreath.
