I have been getting carried away making monochromatic cards. I often struggle to choose colours and have realised that using different tones and shades of the same colour is really very effective, and very simple.
I hope you like these:
Card 1
This is also a one layer card with just the addition of 4 little flower gems to give it a boost.
This time I cut the panel with a scalloped frame and added some sequins. I just love all the different shades of green you see in spring.
This time I cut the heart with the matching die and popped it up on some blue craft foam and added background interest with the plaid die and some blue sequins.
I am also really pleased with my new supplies from Catherine Pooler and Concord & 9th.

Hilary, When something is working for you, don't stop! I love each one but let me just say that the blue one has stolen my heart! Can I also say that the placement of each stamp, leaf and or heart...etc, is just perfect! The lattice background was a super idea as well. Thanks for joining the team and I over at The Paper Players.
Three Simply Beautiful Monochromatic color designs, Hilary. How wonderful to be able to have 3 new cards for different occasions in your stash. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy

I love monochromatic cards and these are lovely, Hilary! Love this heart stamp too!
Hilary, fabulous collection of monochromatic cards. I love the tone on tone.
These are all beautiful! I love monochromatic themes! Very pretty indeed! Thanks for playing with our Paper Players challenge this week!
All three of your monochromatic cards are beautiful Hilary! I love how each one adds just a little more to the design, going from CAS to mixed media. Great work, my friend! xx
love the simplicity of monochromatic colours ♥
I think the simple cards are sometimes a lot more difficult to make than they look - like monochrome cards! I love what you've created here - they look simple, but I love the multiple tones in them. And I love how you've stepped up the design by adding the die cut background - I could take a tip or two from these!
Fabulous monochromatic cards with great tonal colours Hilary x.
Oh they are beautiful! I love the teal colours!
Gorgeous cards Hilary, so delightful and elegant all.
Thank you for sharing at Allsorts, welcome again;-))m
Lovely cards that work so well in those shades.

I love monochromatic & it does solve the what colors to use question I often have, too. All your cards are beautiful, Hilary! I especially love the green one!
