Monocromatic all the way

It's been a very long time since I have posted anything  . dubaiscrapbooking is hosting a monochromatic challenge this month and I decided to play along .Had so much of fun! The first combination that came to mind was Black with White..that is my absolute favorite.However I decided to use some of my other fav colors: shades of Purple and shades of Orange. Another deciding factor in the selection of lilac as as base colour for my card was the lovely Lilac glitter embossing powder which is a new addition to my stash :).

 A dear friend Swati is the first to participate is any swap or challenge..I love her enthusiasm ,either to learn something new or to teach newbies.she wasn't able to participate in this challenge for personal reasons..so I decided to make something else for her ..

My Sis came visiting last week and she brought some beautiful handmade papers  for me, all  in shades of orange .which was a wonderful coincidence .and so I went with a tag this time.

Hope all of you like what I have come up with....I have had so much fun playing with these colours...So happy you had this challenge Janine and Swati..
