LET'S SCRAP DESIGN TEAM CHALLENGE #177

I 'm your hostess at Let's Scrap's Design Team challenge #177 this week  and on behalf of the Design team, I challenge you to create a double page or single page layout, or a card;  our theme for you is

50 SHADES OF .....
(use monochromatic colours)

Monochromatic colours are all the colours of a single hue. Monochromatic colour schemes are derived from a single base hue, and extended using its shades, tones and tints that is, a hue modified by the addition of black, gray (black + white) and white. ...


(in other words, the range of shades of one colour you see on a paint card)
       You may use any style you want from CAS to frou-frou, frilly and fancy, to shabby chic and vintage ... you decide but, keep it monochromatic.
Try to keep your photographs as closed to your monochromatic colour palette as possible (skin and hair tones excluded)
There are a few additional, simple rules that you can find HERE

This is my other DT sample card for you

50 SHADES OF SILVER



To create my card I used a white CS base onto which I added layers of shiny metallic silver CS, scored and embossed, and peel off borders, silver star trim, a peel off sentiment, punched round DP circle and a puffy silver fabric star


Finally, I leave you with this this photograph - I love the way the metallic silver reflects the colours surrounding it:
