CKC Challenge #1: Tone on Tone Background

Challenge # 1 charges us to create a tone on tone background.  How you achieve that is entirely up to you.  Tone on tone brings interest to a page without letting things get too busy.  It provides that little somthin'-somethin' that plain cardstock lacks.  So, I grabbed some of that plain turquoise cardstock that I added to my June Piña Colada kit and got stamping with a tropical flower stamp and a turquoise stamp pad.

Here's what I came up with...


I added some bling, also in turquoise to keep with the tone on tone, to add a bit of dimension.

Here's a closer look...



There are many ways you can add tone on tone to your layouts. 
 Stamping, paper punches, misting...  
Try one out today and be sure to share with us over on Mr. Linky.

Thanks for stopping by!

  5. Love the breezy border with the straws - total cuteness! Wow - the tone-on-tone is amazing. I always somehow think of it as boring but this is anything but, especially with the bling.
