7 Kids College Fund Monochromatic Challenge

We're doing monochromatic this week at 7 Kids College Fund challenge! You don't have to stick to black and white either, do monochromatic in any color! I chose to keep it simple by stamping directly on my kraft cardstock and coloring in earth tones using Copic Markers. I added the white highlight around the image using a primsa colored pencil. The sentiment is from Unity Stamp Co and the beautiful lace & button comes from my friend Marta's Creating Is Fun store.

I was inspired to make this card from my friend Lisa, who makes the most beautifully colored kraft images on her cards! I was inspired to try this technique again and it will also be featured in an upcoming issue of Designed To Color!

Have you ever been in a funk that you can't seem to snap out of? That's how I feel lately and it totally stinks!! I have a lot on my plate and I think I have overwhelmed myself. In Jan, I launched Designed To Color, my new magazine which has had a GREAT response and for that I'm grateful. I also started a new position so training was stressful as I was trying to get it all in before I left for a week to CHA. CHA was incredible! I have a few pictures that I will share in the next day or so. I came home extremely inspired but then the bottom dropped out and I haven't been able to do anything - I'll find a moment to sit at my craft desk and just sit there staring at a black and white image not even knowing where to start! So, my question is what do you do when you get like this? I know we all hit a wall sometimes, so I just need some help climbing over it!

Thanks for stopping by!
