Hello Beautiful Peacock

 

Challenge #244 has just gone live at Time Out Challenges and this fortnight we have a theme challenge
 
Monochrome


The Miriam Webster disctionary defines Monochrome as "of, relating to, or made with a single color or hue".   I've chosen blue - mostly because it's my favourite colour but also because it gave me an opportunity to make up this gorgeous peacock (Birchpress Regal Peacock) which is NBUS.



I gathered a few different shades of blue including a rather lovely snippet of blue holographic and set about assembling the peacock.  I used the blue holographic card stock to cut the body of the peacock and I had enough left over to cut this "hello" sentiment (Birch Press Honey Script Hello) which is also NBUS.  The "beautiful" is from a really old stamp set (WMS Hello Happy Thanks) which I stamped with Versafine Deep Lagoon.  


What colour will you choose?  Can't wait to see your monochome creations in the gallery.  If you're stuck, there's plenty of inspiration from my fellow DT members and we're also joined by the very talented Stephanie Serrano  as our guest this fortnight.  You can find Stephanie's work at Stephanie's Stampin' Spot and more frequently on Instagram at @22Stepanieserrano!  Do drop by and say hi!


Challenge #244 is being sponsored by Varada Sharma  who has very generously donated two $15 store credits - one will be awarded to our top pick as voted by the Design Team and the other will be selected randomly!   Our top pick will also be invited to guest design with us in a future challenge.




I'd like to enter the following challenges

Cardz4Galz Challenge #204 - Something beginning with "P";

NBUS Challenge #53 NBUS Peacock and Hello dies;

Triple B August Challenge - Just a Bird, no Blooms or Butterflies;
