I thought I'd play along with the JAI girls this week and tackle their challenge..............and lordy me.......it WAS a challenge! lol Check it out:
We could only use White and one other colour and if that wasn't enough of a challenge, I chose to use Cameo Coral for my colour choice - definitely not a colour I work with much! lol
This is what I came up with though and I was really happy with it in the end! Simplicity is definitely the key in challenges like this!
I was even more proud of myself because I inked up some of the Papertrey Ink stamp sets I ordered a while back! To create this card, I've used stamps from Mat Stack 1 Collection, Retro Backgrounds and Gracious Vases.
And just before I go, I recently had a comment left by my friend Debbie, telling me I hadn't posted a photo of my little Ragdoll baby, Teddy for a while! Well, here ya go Deb, this ones for you! lol

This is so lovely — I think I said, "oooh" aloud when I saw it! My mojo's gone missing lately, and this may have restored it. Thanks so much for the beautiful inspiration!
Aaaah! Do you hear me screaming from all the way across the globe?! I LOVE this, Karen! It is one of my very favorites of yours so far. The monochromatic look is SO classy, and those layered labels steal my heart. Totally fabulous, my friend!
GORGEOUS card, lovey!! You rocked this challenge :)
Love this CAS card!!!
OHHHHH he is such a sweetie - so cute :)
Nice card :)
Love the photo of Teddy - Hasn't he grown! and look at his beautiful markings! The photo made me smile as I was only looking at photos yesterday of how my kitty used to sleep in the bathroom sink. :)
I think white is the only colour cameo goes with lol, so good choice! (was glad to see it retire too)
Love your background stamping and use of the ribbon on the mat.

Woohoo love your mono card! Great job.
Teddy looks cuter than ever sitting in the basin - I imagine he finds all sorts of fun spots to snooze.

WoW! Stunning. Love how you used the ribbon. The white ribbon makes this color pop even more.

Your card is clean and crisp and gorgeous but 'Teddy' definitely stole the show in this post! ;)
Gorgeous card Karen. Love the background (I really should use this set more). Teddy is so totally cute and his eyes seem to match your handtowel in this photo :)
Beautiful CAS card!
Teddy is so cute! I have a kitten, but he doesn't like bathroom at all! LOL
Oh Karen, you DO deserve some crafty time today! So sorry to hear of all of your crafty troubles lately. You have a lot of people standing behind you. I hope it all gets resolved soon in your favor. PS...This card is SO LOVELY! You took the challenge, and turned that 1 color and neutral into something magical!
Oh and that kitten is gorgeous...his eyes look like the same color as that towel, hee!
I just "found" your blog and I am so happy that I did. Your creations are gorgeous!! So sorry to read about your PTI troubles. Sending xoxo!!
BEAUTIFUL card, Karen! I like the background stamping and the layers :) Just beautiful!
