Craft Rocket Challenges - Monochrome shades of one colour excluding skin and hair

Hello one and all

I hope all is well with you. Today's post is my design for Craft Rocket Challenges. Please take a look at the other designers offerings and why not join in. As in the title the challenge is to use shades of one colour. I made this card for a friend for her son's partner earlier in the year. She is a huge "old" film fan. Last year I made a card with a quote by Audrey Hepburn!
I found this topper and worked from there. I wanted a sort of Art Deco feel to the card, so made a gate fold card using decoration with a Striplet die - my favourite dies!


I hope you like it

Ingredients
Finished size 5x7 gate fold card
CE Foundation card stock - Cobalt blue
My Craft Studio topper - Art Deco Follies
Sue Wilson NY Collection Herald Square and Corner Border tag
Tonic Studio - Circle dies
Printed sentiments using Serif and free fonts
