Softly Planted ~ Monday Montage

 

Today marks the last hop of 2023 for the Monday Montage designers!  Thank you for hopping along with us all year and we hope you'll join us again in January as we hop through 2024!

Thinking of You, Thank You and Just Because cards are always good to have on hand. These pretty sentiments from the Online Exclusive stamp set Softy Said and the soon to be available Planted Paradise stamp set helped to create a pretty trio of cards.

In addition to collecting stamps, ink and paper, I also collect plants.  It was fun to pot a few paper variety of plants!  Gray Granite,  Blueberry Bushel and Copper Clay were the color choices for the pots on the first card, filled with leaves in various shades of green.  Casing the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog, I stamped the cute little circle image in the background..cute, right?!?  

I went for softer shades of Petal Pink and Gray Granite for the next card, along with some more greens and Pebbled Path for the Thinking of You sentiment.  A little texture was added with the Painted Texture and Basics 3D embossing folders.

I went bold and bright for the last card, using Berry Burst for the pot filled with Granny Apple and Lemon Lime Twist leaves.  A Pretty Peacock Heartfelt Hexagon in the background and sentiment compliment the bright colors perfectly!

If you love fussy cutting as much as do, these stamp sets are for you!  There are no coordinating dies, but don't let that stop you!  There are lots of creative opportunities with both of these stamp sets that don't require any fussy cutting!

We have a smaller hop this week as many of the designers are enjoying the holiday season, but I promise you will find inspiration from all of us today!

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Happy Stamping!
