Less is More #18...Monochrome

Hello All!
I hope you are well and have been enjoying the saturday sunshine. Can I say a massive welcome to my new followers and a huge thank you for all the comments on last weeks Less is More
posts.
This weeks challenge is to make a monochromatic card. There are some fabulous entries already but after a slow start I managed to make a set of 3.

I made the pink one first and liked it so much I just carried on.













A blue one.

and finally a lilac one.









I did make a lime green one too but it didn`t look right.
Not much to say about them really. Hydrangea Stamp by Do crafts stamped onto white card using Memento Rosebud, Memento Bahama Blue ( my favourite) and versacolour Heliotrope.
The sentiments are new to me ( a treat) by Paula Pascual at Personal Impressions, and are a mix of Double sayings and Mix and Match sets.

We`ve had a strange old day today at Atkinson Towers. I have the week off work this week and have planned alsorts to do,starting with finishing the back garden.
It`s a tiny garden divided into 3rds. The first has shrubs and bulbs, the middle has the pond and the last bit did have tomatoes last year but has been sadly neglected. Last week I planted some late bulbs and the seeds which are showing already, but today I wanted to put gravel around the pond. ( So Alan doesn`t bring mud and pondweed in the house every time he goes near it.lol)
I started by laying some of that weed repelent black cloth stuff down. By the time I was ready to start shovelling the gravel, one of our resident frogs had decided to explore UNDER the cloth. Stupid thing! I nearly stood on him (Has to be a him) then very nearly tipped a shovel full of gravel into the pond trying to avoid him. I ended up having to take up most of the cloth to free him, then relay it and quickly pour the gravel before he had time to get back under. Think I managed it... hope so...
Then, this afternoon we were going to a big family get together at one of Alans uncles. After a much needed shower and scraping of muddy fingernails we were ready in our best bib and tucker. Got just around the corner and the car conked out. We managed to get home but daren`t risk travelling to the otherside of Hull. So here I am, all dressed up and nowhere to go. Only one thing for it....craftroom...
 And...on top of that...someone pinched the sun!!!

Thanks for popping in...Lynne xxx
