Say It In...Monochromatic

Hi Guys,

I hope your all well and had a wonderful week!  It's been a little wet and chilly here in little old Adelaide and if this is a taste of winter...Bring It On lol!

It's time for another fun theme challenge brought to you by AnnaBelle Stamps Blog and this week you need to 'Say It In...

To be honest, I was freaking when this challenge came up lol, doing monochromatic scares the daylights out of me, I seem to never get the 'tones' right lol!

So this time I did a little researching to see what exactly 'Monochromatic' means and if it can help me to create a better card, so off web searching I went and landed at Wikipedia that explains that "Monochromatic colours are all the colours(tints, tones and shades)of a single hue" and goes on to say...
"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.
 As a result, the energy is more subtle and peaceful due to a lack of contrast of hue. Monochromatic colour schemes may be considered boring unless there is diversity within the design.

Mmmmm, now lets see if my card is 'Boring' lol and with this wealth of knowledge under my hat Here's my card:

I don't think it turned out too 'Boring' lol and I used 'Browns' for my Monochromatic card.  I also used this week's Mojo Monday Sketch!
