Monochromatic Handmade Card

Hello Everyone ~ Today’s Monochromatic Handmade Card was a real challenge because of the color.

Yesterday was rather interesting.  I have been having issues with the smell of gas when I use my hot water.  Yesterday I smelled it again and the contractor who installed the lines said the next time to call the gas company.  So I called them and they told me to leave the house and they were sending someone right away.  Now I had a lady coming in about 40 minutes for a card class.  I went outside and waited and the gas guy finally came.  He checked the house and said it was ok for us to go in.  I went ahead with my workshop while he checked around.  He worked for a while and I went ahead with my card class.  He finally came to me and told me he was detecting a leak and was going to turn off the gas and all this other stuff.  As luck would have it the foreman for my builder was here working on the punch list.  He had run to the store so I sent him a text and told him the gas man wanted to talk to him.  He came back and the gas man, the foreman, and the contractor did a 3 way call so the gas man could tell the contractor what he had eliminated.  The contractor then spend the afternoon working on determining where the leak was.  He managed to find the leak and fix it so when the gas man came back he could not detect any gas leak.  The contractor had some more work to do but he will be back in the morning early as it was too hot in the attic.  I am hoping they have solved the problem.  Then while I was talking to one of the ladies who came to my workshop about where to plant my daisies I got for Mother’s Day we discovered the deer have been eating my plants.  I was not happy about that so now I am working on using a natural deer repellent.  The lady said she has been using egg shells so I had some and I crushed them up and will put them out to see if that works.  I also talked to another lady who said she was using a spray that smelled like peppermint.  I have mixed up some water and peppermint essential oil that I will spray and see if that works.  I am hoping it does.

Today I have a One Color Wonder for you.  This one I have to admit was a challenge and was not certain what I was going to do because Pumpkin Pie does not go with any of the animals in the stamp set.  I think I did pretty good considering what I had to work with.  Here is my video for the Monochromatic Handmade Card.
