Less is More - monochrome

Its been a bit of a shock to the system ... I went in my craft room and made a card ... I haven't crafted since Monday, we have had a lot going at home and I have been rather distracted.

This week's Less is More challenge is monochrome.

I used kraft papers and SU Crumb cake papers, and one of my new stamp sets from SU to create this.  The stamps are stamped in Memento Cocoa.  I feel something is missing, but when I tried to add some embellishment it didn't look right.

Hubby has been unwell recently and we are spending the day at hospital having tests done ... hopefully he will be home tonight.

Great to distract your mind with a bit of cardmaking I alwways find. I hope all is back to 'normal' for you all soon.

Fab card. Has a calm feel, (even if things are far from calm in RL :0) )

Hope your husband gets well soon.
I always want to add something else to my card, this is one of my fav stamp sets! Do you have the SU! spritzing tool, that would have added something extra without being too much.

Sorry you're having to spend time at the hospital. Hope your hubby gets better soon.

Love the kraft and brown together! I think there's plenty on the card, but perhaps if you moved the clock over more toward the center it might feel more balanced to you. It's still a beautiful card just as it is...and I do love those colors!
