Hi and Happy Day!
I created this card for the April 15th challenge at Simply Scrapping Crafts.
The challenge was to make the design monochromatic, or varying shades of just one color. I decided to go out on a limb and make mine all shades of cream, or eggshell, or off-white...you choose what you think it is.
Did I do alright? What do you think?
I used hand-made paper that my friend Katie gave to me a few years ago and have never really pulled out. I love how the pieces of twine swirl through the BG paper. Such a cool idea. I used a slightly difference shade for the heart. Sentiment is from the Good News stamp set by Inkadinkado.
It's stamped with Tim Holtz's Antique Linen Distress Ink.
Speaking of handmade paper, stay tuned for a review and some fun projects made from my talented friend Kim's handmade paper!
Have a lovely day!

I think it is a beautiful card honey. And the sentiment is, of course, wonderful. I do love the balance of the design, and I think it was incredibly smart to use the level of texture that you did since this is monochromatic. The base paper is great and I love the roughness of the bands and ribbon running through it.
I love your card. Well put together. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Maggie Holzhauser.
