At one of our recent Candy Hearts team meetings, we had a challenge to create a monotone project. Today I’m sharing the card I made for that challenge. My one color was Powder Pink. (Pink is my signature color.) I wanted to create a lot of texture, since there was only the one color. I used the Butterfly Thinlits, Bold Butterfly Thinlits, Cupcake Cutouts Thinlits, and the Petal Burst embossing folder to create this lovely card.

Here’s what I made in Powder Pink:

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

• Powder Pink card stock (CS) cut to 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored in half at 4-1/4″
• Powder Pink CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″
• Powder Pink CS cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″

Embossed using the Petal Burst Embossing Folder:

• 3-3/4″ x 5″ Powder Pink CS layer

Die cut using the Butterflies Thinlits:

• larger butterfly from a scrap of Powder Pink CS

Die cut using the Bold Butterfly Thinlit Dies:

• smaller butterfly from a scrap of Powder Pink CS

Die cut using the Cupcake Cutouts Framelit Dies:

• sentiment

Colored using the Clear Wink of Stella:

• butterflies and sentiment

Assembled the card:

• 4″ x 5-1/4″ Powder Pink CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
• embossed Powder Pink CS layer glued onto the 4″ x 5-1/4″ Powder Pink CS layer
• butterflies (bodies only, not the wings) adhered to the embossed layer using mini glue dots, then bent the wings to they would stand up
• sentiment glued onto the embossed layer

Here is today’s color:
