(use any colour as your main then shades of that colour)
As you can see for this card I chose shades of brown using different shades of brown card and brown ink...
I used old shower curtain hooks hanging from copper and silver coloured eyelets to hold the sentiment in place.

Hello Suzi B. Love your monochrome steampunk piece. It's very well done. It looks like you used jump rings for binoculars...very cool idea. Also love the shower ring hooks application. Thanks so much for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge. <3 Candy
Love your use of shower curtain hooks, very creative and love your stamped images too. Thanks so much for joining in The Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge. Tracy x
That is an amazing photo of the dandelion clock at the top of your blog - I just love looking out to see what you come up with next. I also love your monochrome steampunk offering this week and I'm glad you said where those hooks came from as that was puzzling me. Absolutely brilliant - must get stamping myself after my busy weekend.
This is gorgeous! I like the papers and the way you've distressed! : )
Thanks so much for entering the Simon Says Stamp & Show Challenge!!!
