Phindy's Place Challenge #43 - Monochromatic


Good Morning and hooray it's Friday!  We are off for a long weekend in East Sussex, leaving Mum to hold the fort at home!   But first, here's my card for this week's Phindy's Place Challenge, which is to make a monochromatic project.  My card has a teenage boy image on it, called Connected Boy, so my card is not just monochromatic, it is most likely monosyllabic too lol!

His top looks brownish, but this was Warm Grey Copics rather than Cool or Toner, I used all my grey pens for this image I think, also Black Soot Distress Ink to edge it.  I based my card on a great sketch from the Pixie Cottage Challenge which is sketch and/or embossing this week.  The black square is Coredinations with a grey background, embossed with a Tim Holtz wall and then distressed, the DP is Stampin' Up.

Hope you like Grumpy George and his grey card:).

My card is for the following challenges:
Pixie Cottage Challenge - sketch and/or embossing
Claudia & Company - about a boy
Totally Papercrafts - do it with digis
Stampin' for the Weekend - monochrome
