Creating beautiful cards does not always require a long list of ink colors. Sometimes using minimal supplies gives you the most striking results. Today I’m sharing two monochrome inspired projects that prove you can create depth and drama with just a few curated shades.

I’m also hosting a livestream where we will create both cards in real time. You’ll learn multiple ways to use the ink pads you already own to make dimensional designs that look polished and professional.

The livestream includes an exclusive coupon code that lasts for 24 hours only. There will also be a giveaway during the live and another chance for replay viewers to enter. Watch livestream 11/7 at 3pm EST → https://youtube.com/live/D552LQuRcH4

Card One Pink Monochrome Magic

This card is a celebration of what one color family can do. The design uses pink inks to show four different ways to add dimension with a single ink pad. Each approach creates a unique finish while keeping the entire project cohesive and elegant.

Card Two Postage Stamp with Pop of red

The second card highlights the beauty of minimal color with bold shapes. Postage stamp elements add structure and interest while the monochrome palette keeps everything clean. This card uses simple shading to create impact without overwhelming the design.

During the livestream we will build this card step by step. You’ll see how to balance contrast, place focal points, and create dramatic results even when using a very limited amount of color.

This project is perfect when you want a quick win that still feels elevated.

Join the Livestream for Techniques Supplies and a 24 Hour Coupon Code

Both cards will be featured in my upcoming livestream today at 3 PM EST. I’ll demonstrate each technique and show you how to get the most from your ink pads while working with the new Alex Syberia release.

You’ll also receive an exclusive 24 hour coupon code during the live. Replay viewers will still be able to enter the giveaway as long as they comment before the deadline.
