HELLO Sunshine!

The days may still be a little gloomy but the sunshine is on its way!!! 

Recently I have developed a love for mono-printing!  It's called MONO printing because each image pulled is a one of a kind.  What remains unexpressed in the name is that it is anything but mono!!!  I have pulled up to 5 prints from a single color job, although each print is very different ~ they are addictive and gorgeous and so fun to work with!!

                            

This beautiful and simple card begins with a mono-printed background using a Sunny Studio's embossing folder and Prima Oil Pastels!  Bright white die-cuts & a beautiful burst of color for the backdrop in the "Hello Outline" die by Poppystamps notches up the energy! 

The multi-colored paper is actually something from my used wrapping paper stash.  It has veins of gold foil so of course I kept it!!! Plus I love to recycle!!  

If you like instant gratification, then mono-printing from embossing folders may be for you!!  After trying several combinations of 'traditional' sunburst colors I started to explore shades of blue and gray.  Because I was able to quickly make a dozen backgrounds in each I made myself stop, but I do have plans to try out color combos like black and white, 70's earth tones... it's endless & so far I haven't had one that I didn't like!

Want to learn how it's done? Here's a quick tutorial
