LOL I can't believe I've just done my 2nd double layout within a week! My real issue is that I normally use a kraft of white cardstock for my background & I really struggled to find two pieces of paper the same, add to that so many patterned papers had other colours in them. I finally settled on Tim Holtz Distress range, & with the addition of his inks, everything blended well together. I couldn't even use my beloved mists as they also had gold or silver highlights ;)

Here is a close up of the paint, stamping & inking that I used to create interest in the background.

Thanks for stopping by...as always, a huge thank you for all your lovely comments! I would certainly love to hear what you think of my monochromatic layout! :)
Happy scrapping!
