Monochromatic at Lexi's

I am back again with my second post of the day!  Today sees the start of a brand new challenge at Lexi's Creations and the theme this fortnight is Monochromatic. We want to see either black and white or shades of one colour apart from skin and hair tones.  Here is my card:


This image is a Dr Digi called Dunderton Academicals FC and I have coloured him with my Copics with Glossy Accents to his glasses. Image has been cut and matted using Spellbinders Nesties. Paper is Echo Park Happy Days Digital and I have embossed the white card with a circular embossing folder I don't know the make.  The ticket sentiment is Dienamics Mini Ticket Border and I made the sentiment on my computer.  Card Candi from my stash to the corner. Here is another view:


We are sponsored this week by Joanna Sheen so please go over to Lexi's Creations for all the details and to see the fabulous designs from the rest of the DT.

Challenges I would like to enter:

One Stitch at a Time - Use a Digi
Little Claire's - Monotone
My Sheri Crafts - Vintage Guy
Open Minded Crafting - Monochromatic
Di's Digi Designs - Bingo (I used the top line: digi,sentiment, embossing)
The Cheerful Stamp Pad - Black and White
Artistic Inspirations - Anything Goes Masculine
Melonheadz - For the Boys

I have had another bad night of sleep and spent most of the night up going back to bed at 5:00 AM and then not getting up til 8:00 AM it really throws my day out! I am going out to see my Aunt this afternoon and tonight going out for Dinner as Dave is an after dinner speaker so I will be listening to him!! Have a wonderful day whatever you do and thank you so much for taking the time to come and visit me. Take care xx
