White with 1 - July

The White With 1 July challenge was


I really like the WW1 challenges because I like monochromatic layouts and I love WHITE cardstock!


The thing I love about monochrome layouts is that you have to think about using different shades of the same colour to get depth and interest. I've used a couple of chopboard pieces; the swallow, the circle frame and the button which I've embossed with American Crafts Zing embossing powder in Aqua. I loved the result. What do you think?

The mist in the background is Mister Huey Bluegrass - a new favourite! I struggled to find aqua embellishments in my collection but lucky for me I had some aqua bits and pieces in my fabric stash. I freehand cut a flower shape from teal cord and cut out a flower shape from an aqua piece of fabric and mounted that onto a  Kaisercraft flower. I coloured the flower with the bluegrass Mister Huey.


Hope you enjoy!
