Monotone but not blue

This is my card for the challenge at Totally Gorjuss which has a monotone challenge. I am really trying to up my game and improve my cards but I've still not got it right yet. I have made this card with a neighbours daughter in mind as she will 13 I think, not 100% sure but I'm sure she'll appreciate it anyway 12 or 13, well I hope so anyway.


Saturday secret crafter challenge has a musical theme and as I kept having There must be an angel by Ann Lenox popping into my head whilst making this card I will enter their challenge too.

Stamp something has a blue and white theme challenge, I know I haven't much white but there is a little bit so hopefully enough to count.

One stop craft challenge has a theme of fancy borders and corners and I have a few of those so hopefully I can enter that challenge too.


Last but by no means least the layout is from the challenge over at Stampin for the weekend. I really liked this sketch and found it quite easy to work with, maybe there's hope for me yet and I am improving , well a little bit anyway. Hope you like my card. Constructive critism always welcome anything to help me improve is welcomed with open ears and a willing heart, though I might not be able to comply without a little practice, but thankyou in advance.

    This is so beautiful Julye. The faux stitching is gorgeous and your bow is immaculate! (wish I could tie them like that). A wonderful image and I love the inside decoration.
    Thanks for joining us at the One Stop Craft Challenge.

    Don't be so hard on yourself! It's all art and there are no mistakes in art, right? At least that's what my art teacher in college always said...hehehe! Your card is adorable and I'm sure your neighbor's daughter will love it! Thanks for entering our challenge at Stamp Something this week!
