Green birthday card

I made this in 2010 for my brother's birthday. I used scrap paper, stickers and 1/2 of a stamp (said 'Happy Birthday!' but only used the second word). Ridiculously easy.

One Color Card: Purple

Here's my purple one-color-card using the sketch from Stamp with fun. This sketch was really fun but a little to simple for my small image, so I added a little variation with a shorter front of the card.

Materials:
Penny Black clear set: "Critter party"
DCWV papers
various ribbon
lilac pearl card blank

One Color Card: Pink

Here's a close up of the coloring and glitter on the cake. It's colored with Whisper markers and colored pencils.

I was making my One Color Cards in an order, but I had to skip ahead to pink for the challenge over at One Stop Craft Challenge. Their challenge for the week was a pink and black card.

Whimsy Stamps Challenges this week is ribbons; I've had the polka-dot ribbon for ages, but haven't been able to use it until now.

One Color Card: Blue

Here's a close up of the speckles I created and the Friday Sketcher's sketch that I used:

I used my Stampin' Up color sprizter and the same blue marker that I colored the balloon with to add the speckles. Isn't the mouse just darling? And the sketch was really fun to use.

This is my 4th One-Color-Card, so I'm exactly half-way through the basic rainbow. It's definitely going to be an all Penny Black set, but I might start on Whiff of Joy next, since this is so much fun. Have YOU ever tried a One-Color-Card? I'd love to see, even if it's not a new card.

Materials:
Penny Black: "Hugs" clear set
Close-to-my-Heart papers
black brads
Whisper markers
Stampin' Up color spritzer

One Color Card: Green

Since I made a yellow card this week, I thought I'd follow on with a green card. I've used a Penny Black stamp, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder, and Stampin' Up paper. The base of the card and the buttons are a light green, but they look white in the photo.

This is the sketch from Papertake Weekly Challenge blog for this weeks challenge. It was not an easy sketch for me to work with this week; I don't know why.

One Color Card: Yellow

The challenge over at ABC Challenge blog is to make a yellow card. This is perfect for me to continue with my personal challenge of one-color-cards. So here's a simple yellow card with some cute Penny Black mice.

One Color Card: Orange

I've decided to set myself a goal this summer. I'm going to make at least 7 cards in one color only (one for all the colors in the rainbow). I might do them all with Penny Black stamps, but I'm not sure yet.

This is the first One Color Card made using a sketch from Friday Sketchers challenge blog. I chose orange first because it's my favorite color.

Materials:

Penny Black "Garden Friends" clear set
Prima flowers
Quickutz die
Stampin' Up papers
colored pencils
Sakura pen
