Less Is More Week 18 - Colour - Monochrome

It's Monochrome week over on Less Is More. I've decided to combine this with an anniversary card for my OH as we celebrate on Wednesday. I've used the Darkroom Door set Prague Vol 1. When I bought this set and used it for his birthday card last year he queried whether it was worth buying it for just one card. So his Christmas and Valentines cards were made with it too. So that's a full set now!

The image was stamped with Close to Cocoa and the Stampin Up Love was stamped in Chocolate Chip, then layered onto brown cardstock and a cream base to keep the monochrome theme.

  5. I just adore this card, the image is so atmospheric and fabulous stamped in Close to Cocoa. The sentiment is just perfect in placement and colour (in my opinion!) I've contemplated getting this DRD set but haven't made the investment ..... yet !!
