Naughty or Nice Challenge #21 - Monochromatic with a thanks twist.

Do you love monochrome as much as I love monochrome?
If the answer is 'yes' then why not join in the fun as this month's challenge over at Naughty or Nice.

The Troublemakers would like to see marvellous monochromatic cards... With a 'thanks' twist.

My card is only a little bit naughty. I had such fun pulling together all the different elements for this one and hope it shows in the finished result.

Unfortunately, the picture is slightly washed-out due to the poor light levels today. 

The quote is attributed to Victorian Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli. For me, Disraeli has always had one of the more interesting hair styles of British political history but that's a whole other blogpost! Having said that I still can't help but wonder just how did he manage to create that kiss-curl without the benefit of modern styling products?

Anyhoo, as soon as I saw his quote I knew I'd partner it with the lovely 'Crown' from AI for a super fun thank you card. 

The gorgeous stamp in the background is from Purple Onion Designs. It's a beauty but not one I've found easy to use due to it's dimensions. However, I think it works perfectly for this card and looks lovely heat embossed in white and then sponged with Distress Inks.

My fellow Troublemakers also had plenty of fun with their monochromatic-marvels so why not take a look and join in our challenge for November...
