Pink is the color I chose for my Paper Player’s monochromatic project this week, and this piece of marble from nature is showing the varying shades.
For the second requirement of keeping it clean and simple, I used just one piece of Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper.
“carved in stone”
I cut the heart from the DSP using a Be Mine Stitched die, along with several layers of retired cardstock, for thickness. Then , I adhered this DSP with the hole in it to a Petal Pink card base. After applying dimensionals to the heart, I placed it back in its spot, without disrupting the pattern of veins in the stone. You could call this the “eclipse” technique.
This fabulous DSP is an actual photograph of marble, which made me think of the expression, “carved in stone.” So, I put my Labeler Alphabet stamp set to use, and stamped the required letters in Blushing Bride ink on Whisper White cardstock. I used my Paper Snips for cutting, and lined up the letters as you see. A little imperfection is their charm.
The words, “love you” are from the Well Written die set, and cut from another pink pattern of Petal Promenade DSP. After giving them one extra layer of cardstock, I glued them in place, and my clean and simple, monochromatic, card was complete.
I am drawn to monochromatic projects, so I can’t wait to see what my fellow designers have created. Thanks so much for coming to my blog, now let’s check out the others!

Wow! This card is gorgeous and i had no idea that this paper was part of Petal Promenade! And I never thought of using retired c/s for the “lift”. Great card, fabulous ideas and tips! Thank you for sharing it!!!
Amazing card! How creative (and easy!). I love the look of the marble & cutting the heart, popping it & placing it back is such a great look.
Su, love how you matched up the layers so that the veins of the marble were all going in the same direction. The sentiment is perfect for the background. Fabulous take on the challenge

Su, this is just gorgeous! I love the sentiment so much! Did you cut each letter out? It matches your DSP so perfectly! BRAVO! Have a super weekend! XX
Thank you, Claire! I’m so glad you like it. Yes, I cut each letter out, after stamping. I have a fairly simple way of using the Labeler Alphabet.
Not only is this Clean and Simple perfection…it’s monochromatic perfection, too! Perfect as always, Su!
This is great Su – I would never use this design of paper as I would not know where to start – so your project really is inspirational! Very , especially when paired with you custom sentiment. A truly unique card!
This is a wow card! I love that marble look..gorgeous!
What a creative and unique Valentine! Really love this design!
SO pretty, Su! Love how you paired the DSP with the perfect sentiment.
Su, this is so lovely AND creative! I never thought I would fall for the Petal Promenade DSP but you might be pushing me over the edge.
Lovely!! I’m always so happy when you feature the Labeler Alphabet. As you said, the imperfection in lining up the images adds to the charm! Those stamps are such fun to use and it certainly added that something extra to your beautiful design!
There are no words . . . this is fantastic!So simple, yet so effective!
Thank you, Gale! I’m so glad you like it!
