There are only five days left in this month. That means...

• You only have six more sleeps until the official release of the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalogue!
• You only have five more days to order from the current catalogue and the Last Chance List.

If you have placed an order this month, you would have received this 'thank you' card from me...

It is a one-layer sponged card similar to the sympathy card I made little while ago. If you didn't get the blue 'thank you' card above, then perhaps you received one of the other three I created...

These four cards have a monochromatic colour scheme, where there is only one colour plus a neutral. To easily achieve this I used the Color Coach to find out the Dynamic Duos. So for Not Quite Navy, it's Dynamic Duo is Baja Breeze - they are the light and dark shades of the same colour. The others are Elegant Eggplant/Perfect Plum, Cajun Craze/Tangerine Tango and Garden Green/Pear Pizzazz. I then masked, sponged in the lighter colour, then stamped before removing the mask. Each of the cards are stamped with the four plant silhouette images from Pocket Silhouettes. We will be using this really sweet stamp set in the September Workshops.
