Thanks and Blessings Collection

I was having a color block and simple color palette moment with the Thanks and Blessings Stamp Release. I was thinking of very simple color schemes with colors that are not quite my favorite (orange and purple) #sorrynotsorry.
For my first card, I showcased the geometric pattern from Geo Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder. I inked the debossed side of the embossing folder with Frayed Leaf Mixed Media Ink. I paired this very simple background with a sentiment from Bold Greetings Die Set.

I made this very simple scene with Bird of the Woods Stamp and Die Set. I was thinking of a more graphic mood when layering this bird and branch portrait. I paired this cool color tone scheme with a wreath stencil to help frame the arrangement.

For my last card I went strictly monotone. I wanted to showcase the beautifully detailed outlines and images themselves. I framed this romantic scene with white splatters and a simple sentiment banner. I still struggle with purple, but I ended up loving the single tone use of this color.
