Default CAS899 - Monochromatic - May 18, 2026

Welcome to this week’s Clean and Simple (CAS) challenge.

Our theme is Monochromatic. Choose one color and build your entire clean and simple design around it. You may use different shades or tones of that single color, and you may include neutrals sparingly if needed, but the overall look should stay true to a monochromatic palette.

A few ideas to spark inspiration:
• Create depth by layering light, medium, and dark shades of the same color
• Use a single ink color with generational stamping for variation
• Keep the design crisp with plenty of open space
• Try a bold silhouette in one strong shade
• Let texture, embossing, or die cuts add interest without introducing new colors

Just remember to keep your card clean and simple so your focal point remains clear.

Please use the keyword CAS899 when uploading your card to the gallery.

Here is a link to the Monochromatic gallery.

And here are some inspiring samples from our very talented CAS team:
Lisa – Birthday Tulips by Shoe Girl at Splitcoaststampers
Jeanette – CAS899 Forest Ranger by Forest Ranger at Splitcoaststampers
Pam – CAS899 why am I fluttering by by Bailmac at Splitcoaststampers
Misti – CAS899 Trust by Scraperwannabe at Splitcoaststampers

Thank you for looking.

If you're not sure how to add a link, here's how:
1. Open 2 windows or tabs: one for your card in the gallery, and one for this thread
2. In this thread, click on reply and type anything you want to show before the link.
3. Go to your card window. Highlight the address for your card. (It says www. splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto..... and so on)
4. Click EDIT. Click COPY
5. Go back to this thread. Click PASTE.

1. There is no deadline to play along with the CAS challenges.
2. Take all the time you need to finish and upload your card.
3. Upload your card to your gallery and link back to this thread so we all can see your project.
4. Please remember to put in the correct keyword CAS899 when uploading your image, a copy/paste of the keyword is recommended to avoid typos.
5. Please feel free to combine the CAS challenges with any other challenges.

Not happy with my placement of the sentiment. I actually liked it better without the sentiment at all. Anyway, here it is:

Mono Magnolia CAS899

Thanks for looking!
