I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season so far! Today I’m posting a card set that has absolutely nothing to do with Thanksgiving or Christmas or New Years! Oh, well. I still love these!
I took inspiration for this card set from a card that Therese Calvrid made using succulent stamps (I used MFT Sweet Succulents for mine) and Altenew’s A Splash of Color Stamp set. I loved the color scheme she chose, too, so I tried to emulate that as well.
After stamping, and masking, and stamping my images, and then stamping some ink splatters on top in various colors, I got to work on my sentiments, which I heat embossed in white on black paper. I then added them to each card with some foam tape to give a bit of dimension. The sentiments came from the same Sweet Succulents stamp set.
I love how the boldness of the sentiment contrasts with the rest of the color scheme.

Thanks for stopping by today!
This is an effect I have really been trying to achieve with little luck. Yours is awesome!
Thanks! Just don’t think about it to much and go for it!
