KS Crew Challenge #11 with Gust Hostess, Makiko!


We have another Guest Hostess in the Kitchen for today's 
KS Crew Monday Challenge #11. 
Please join me in giving a big welcome for Makiko!

Makiko won today's Guest Hostess spotlight with her winning Purple Rose Sympathy card in the Jan/Feb. "What's Cooking... contest", which can be seen HERE.  I think it is clear to spot Makiko's clean and elegant design with her knock use of color. Speaking of color, color is Makiko's focus with her challenge for us today. Ya-Hoo!

Makiko's challenge is: Make a card or a project with using just monochromatic colors. 
I love the look and drama from monochromatic colors. Also, try adding dimension with pop-ups, foam adhesives or anything that can raise pieces. Let's give our project a pop!

For samples & inspiration to this challenge: see what Makiko and the rest of the KS Crew has cooked up.


You can learn more about Makiko HERE and to see more of her elegant work, visit her blog, Makink Studio by Makiko Jones. Thank you Makiko for the fun, "monochromatic pop" challenge!

I hope you will join Makiko , the KS Crew and myself and play along, you will be playing for a chance for one of 3 prizes. 1st prize is $50 worth of Kitchen Sink Stamps.

For all the info, go HERE. This challenge will be open to play for two weeks. Just leave your link below in the Mr. Linky box. Deadline for Makiko's challenge is Sunday eve., April 19, midnight EST. Please leave one link per challenge sample. Enter as many samples as you like.

Please use KSCC#11, kitchensinkstamps or KSS as the keyword or tag when uploading to your favorite gallery so we can see everyone's work together.

Happy Stamping Monday!
