Simple Monochromatic Cards with the Colour & Contour Bundle

Hello Everyone,

Today

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…..

These card were so quick to make. The design lends itself to batch making too, and with a stamparatus it would be even quicker!

For this sample I used a classic combination of black & white with a pop of pink!

This version with Night of Navy and Balmy Blue is my favourite!

I hope you enjoyed this project.
