Use just one colour only and had never done that before so two challenges in one!!
So ended up with much faffing around to make two cards of the fairly simple variety..

Well deserved honor to be GD at Mrs. A's. I caught a glimpse of both of these lovelies when I made a swift visit at the B'fly challenge, and saw you & Miss Scrappymoi highlighted. Congratulations and can't wait to see what you share as your GD efforts. I know it will be fantabulous. These 2 are definitely terrific. Well done on the monochrome too, simply stunning...each one. TFS & Hugs
