GC31: Color Challenge - Monochromatic

We are going to challenge your use of color this month! Our challenge is to make a creation which is

M O N O C H R O M A T I C

or, in other words, one which uses shades and hues of only one base color.


Our November Challenge sponsor, PaperTemptress, has graciously donated some wonderful blog candy for this challenge!



The randomly drawn winner of the blog candy will recieve their choice of one of the following 4 variety packs of PaperTemptress paper: Spring Premium Package, Valentine's Day Package, HiT Summer Fun Package or the Christmas Paper Package.

Here's a peak at the Valentine's Day Package:


For your chance to win this fabulous blog candy, just follow the simple guidelines below:

1) Make a papercrafting or mixed media creation with a monochromatic color scheme;

2) Post your creation to your blog or online gallery with a mention and link to this post; and

3) Come back to this post and leave a comment including a link to your creation or use Mister Linky below. Remember to make it a link to the specific post or picture and not just a general link to your blog or gallery. We need to be able to find your art!

For more information on our challenges and directions on linking, please check out our FAQ.

One winner for the variety package of PaperTemptress paper will be chosen at random from the qualifying comments on December 15, 2009. You have until December 12, 2009 to enter!

Here's some inspiration from some amazing designers to get you started.

  4. This was a very fun challenge. I didn't realise just how many times I do monochromatic cards. I stepped out of the box (just a little) for this challenge. Curious? You can see it here: http://krishaskeepsakes.blogspot.com/2009/11/gingersnaps-monochromatic-challenge.html

  12. Already had one card, but also had to submit this card. It was going to be for the Home Page, but messed up on that one and didn't submit it correctly. Oh well, it is perfect for the Monochromatic Challenge.
