Guest Designer, A Cut Above, Monochromatic

Good Morning! 

I am so pleased to announce I am Guest Designing over at A Cut Above! 

 

This is a fairly new Challenge Blog hosted by my dear friend, Vicki Robertson.  

Here's a little bit about why Vicki decided to create this Fun Challenge Blog:

"I'm Vicki and a lover of all things die cut.  I created this challenge blog with the hope of sharing my love for using die cuts on the projects I create.  I've never been a huge stamper, although I have stamps in my stash that I use on occasion for sentiments or embellishing.  But, die cuts are my passion when making cards.  I have a huge collection that I plan to share while creating monthly projects for you".

This Month's Challenge is MONOCHROMATIC! 

 And here are 3 cards that I have created to help inspire you!
