Hope you're enjoying my creations this month. I'm keeping it real simple. Easy to make. Easy to mass produce especially with a MISTI. Colored cardstock + heat embossing. Here's #3.
My thought process on this simple design... I chose the stamp set because I wanted to make a card with the sentiment in the center and floral (in this case herbs/wildflowers) images coming in from the top and bottom. This set offered both the images and a sentiment with a bit more "weight".
The trick? Stamp the sentiment in the middle. Arrange the florals (I actually first aligned them along the top edge so they could extend off the card which was in the corner of my MISTI) and stamp. Then just flip the card over and stamp the florals again. So quick!
With such a simple design, I try to use colors that carry a lot of suggestive power. And go well together. So thinking "nature" I chose a deep green cardstock. And then paired platinum embossing powder with the deep green to soften it up a bit and add a feminine touch. I think it turned out quite elegant thanks to the stamp set style and colors I chose.
