Monochrome mauves


 Good morning,  this is my DT card for this week's challenge at Fab'n'Funky. It's my turn to host, the theme I chose is MONOCHROME.

I coloured up a beautiful (free) image I found online- really needed a little colouring therapy at the time! I used soft shades of mauve and purple which is quite an unusual choice for me. I matted the coloured image onto an embossed panel and a layer of DP. Three brads (so old they're probably vintage!) a mauve ribbon and stamped sentiment to finish.

Apologies for slightly dingy colours, the embossed panel and cardstock is actually bright white!

There's more to see over at Fab'n'Funky, so please do take a look, it would be great to have you play along this week!

Thanks for visiting

keep yourselves safe

Chris
