TMS #232 Tone on Tone

Tuesday Morning Sketches is starting the year by looking back at 2013.  Each of the design team members will be picking their favorite sketch from 2013.  This week Bonnie has picked sketch # 184.  This week is also our judged challenge so be sure to do the twist - tone on tone/monochromatic.

 Our sponsor this week is our very own, multi-talented Jessi Fogan.  Along with making amazing cards, Jessi also crochets these beautiful mats!

Aren't they gorgeous?! And just in time for Valentine's day cards!
Remember in order to be in the running for these wonderful mats, your must do the twist - tone on tone/monochromatic.

For my card I went with peach tones (sorry for the poor picture quality, it really is more peach than orange!)

I used some peach card stock for the base and the fishtail banner.  The patterned paper is from The Paper Studio.  I embossed the banner then added some stitching to the top. Inked up the edges with some SU Crumb Cake. I die cut a circle to fit inside the crocheted mat.  I then inked up a a two step stamp from There She Goes Stamps (sorry they went out of business at the end of 2013) I stamped off some ink before stamping on the mat, so the images would have a softer/faded look.  I then stamped one fully inked, colored it with Dried Marigold distress ink and my water brush, then fussy cut out. The sentiment and label are both from Verve Stamps.  The flower and label are both popped up with foam tape.  Two little gems finish off the sentiment label.

Thanks for stopping by, please take time to drop by the other design team members blogs and leave a little love! They have some amazing cards to share with you!
