Really Reasonable Challenge - Monochromatic

It is time again for a Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge

This week you are to make a monochromatic project, plus ribbon. For those that aren't sure what "monochromatic" means, it just means to use one color (having or appearing to have only one color). In papercrafting, we normally would pair the monochromatic scheme with neutrals such as black, white, cream, or brown.


I used shades of red for my monochromatic color scheme, paired with black and white.
The piano stamp is a new set from Prima that I purchased in early December and just now had time to use! I turned it into a Valentine for my husband, who loves music!



I made my bow from red diamond satin ribbon and cherry baker's twine.


 I also added some Melina white crochet lace with a heart "pearl" glued to the top.


As always, I finished off the inside of the card.
