Monochromatic Stamping:  Monochromatic stamping is rubber stamping and matting a completed project in the same color family such as all blues or all greens, etc.  You may use different color inks and papers as long as they are in the same shades and hues of a particular color family.  This gives a soft and subtle look.  It is fast and easy and looks harmonious!  Try it using your favorite color and enjoy.
