I am having trouble getting my first posting to change color, but hopefully I have fixed that issue with subsequent posts :) In the meantime, I will show you a card I made for a monochromatic swap a while back. I stamped an image on card stock, cut it into three equal rectangles, matted them in a lighter gray card stock, put them on a piece of black patterned paper and equal distance apart, and put that on a gray card base. I used a staple to place the ribbon to the left panel, and I used Black Diamond Stickles to accentuate the dots that were part of the stamp. It was one of my favorites.
