Monochromatic


 The challenge this week at Sentimental Sundays is Monochromatic
You can use any color as long as you use just one color, and stay within that family. I love the elegance of Black & White. Perfect for a 25th Wedding Anniversary.  I made this for good friends of ours who will be celebrating their 25th in a week or so.  He is the one who married Aaron & I so we have a special bond with them.

Can there possibly be any more bling or sparkle? I'm the wrong person to answer that because I had to step away from the bling!! LOL! I'm sure I could have put some more on there! I don't know where, but I can find a spot! I love all the shimmer in this card! 

Sometimes when there is a Monochromatic
card especially Black & White it is hard to know 
if the card is truly black & white or if it is digitally processed. This card looks like it could have been processed, because there is no color. So this is to 
show it is truly black & white. Then this made me think of several years ago when we used film cameras. 
I used to take pictures of the cat with those last few pictures so I could turn the film in. The first time I used black & white film, I thought how nice it would be to have black & white pictures of my cat. Do you know what color a black white cat comes out in black & white film? Yep, black & white! That was a blonde moment! Here's my sign!

You crack me up! Good thing we can laugh at our selves.

You do have some serious bling going on but I think it is perfect for a 25th wedding anniversary...wow to go for them! Just think all that glitter would of raised the price over $5 in the store! So you are a bargain if you ask me!!
