Almost Monchrome


Well the weeks are starting to race away and not only is it February the end of the week but Tuesday has come round again and its time for another challenge on Everybody Art Challenge. This week is for Blue Monochrome although in my case I've cheated a bit and there's a touch of Kraft but that neutral like white!
I love the Sailor Boys set from Mo Manning and perfect for this challenge and this image is one of three that you get along with other elements too.
I used the Triple Scallop borders from MFT but only used two but had to cut each one twice so it would fit across the card and the join is hidden under the image mat.
The fence is from MFT too but I didn't fancy a blue or white fence because the flowers wouldn't show up all finished with some blue clouds the die once again from MFT and so it the border round the circle mat. The papers are some really old American Craft.
