LDRS Creative | Monochromatic Card Tutorial

Looking for a simple card design that still has tons of dimension? In this video, I’m sharing how I created a monochromatic, one layer card using the aLined Geos Stamps and Chained Edge Die from LDRS Creative. This design is easy peasy, perfect for quick cardmaking and easy mailing, but still packs a punch with layered stamping, texture, and contrast. I chose shades of purple with pops of black, but this card is totally color-customizable - pick any color under the rainbow and make it your own!

Products used - 

aLined Geos 4x6 Stamps

Chained Edge Die

La La Lavender Hybrid Ink Pad

Mrs. Periwinkle Hybrid Ink Pad

Grape Ape Hybrid Ink Pad

Alloy Hybrid Ink Pad

Raven Hybrid Ink Pad

I used the Chained Edge Die to cut into a white card base and added a bit of ink blending with La La Lavender Hybrid Ink to color the edge. Then I grabbed the aLined Geos 4x6 Stamps and started stamping with a variety of purple inks and included some pops of gray and black. I like to start with the largest stamps and work my way down to the smallest. I find this is the best way to create backgrounds. If you go the other way, you may run out of room before you get to the largest stamps.

This card is completely flat, so it's perfect for mailing! You can switch up the colors to make a whole rainbow of notecards! There are even more sentiments in the aLined Geos 4x6 Stamps that would work, too. Thanks for joining me for this quick card!
