Monochrome 2

A project for Country View Crafts 

August Challenge Monochrome Part 2 

In my last post I shared the first monochrome project for the FaceBook CVC Challenge group, this is now the continuation and the second page in my creative sketchbook. Please do look back to that post to see how I started the process of building my choice of colours for my distress palette.

Find it here - http://www.bumblebeesandbutterflies.com/2026/08/monochrome-1.html

Having previously made palettes to show some tints, tones and shades of walnut stain (see last post), I then used them to chose 5 vintage brown distress inks to work with as a very simple monochromatic palette of brown distress products to create the projects.

For this page I chose to go totally vintage not just in colours but in the elements I have used. Starting with Tim Holtz papers and pieces that I had made that were left over from other projects or experiments.

The background

The focal point - one of Tim's Found Relatives.

Elements, stamped, die-cut, inked and printed.

The pieces put together.

The two pages together.
