Ruling The Roost On The Farm And In Monochrome
This proud fella rules the roost on the farm and in monochrome! Since I’m not a big fan of spending lots of time on coloring (I really have to be in the mood, which is rare), monochrome is one of my go to favorites! Plus, just in case you are new to the term monochrome, here is a definition by Webopedia that I like:
Monochrome means one color. Typically one color is presented in different values and intensities — or different shades of the single color.
It’s amazing to me how one color presented in different shades can create images that speak volumes! In this instance, I used several different techniques on this card to obtain those various shades of the same color. Plus, I took the liberty of stretching the rule of monochrome a bit and used black for the sentiment to help it pop. Here they are in no particular order:
- Sponging
- Spattering
- Watercolor
To demonstrate this card, I did a Facebook Live video! I also demonstrated two other cards with the Home to Roost stamp set during this video. Please like and follow my Facebook page to be notified when I go live (and to watch the video) – CLICK HERE
Since the rooster and the horse are both farm animals, pairing the rooster (Home to Roost) with the horse (Let it Ride) just made sense. It’s a great pairing! To see another great stamp set pairing idea – CLICK HERE
