Monochrome Springtime Notecard Set

Hey everyone! How are you all doing? Are you ready for some more Gel-à-Tins fun?!

I'm back today with a little CAS notecard set I created with the really fun Springtime set. The images in this set are so perfect for creating so many different looks! I've definitely got a ton of ideas for it! The little squares are perfect for making a bold design statement and I let that dictate the style of these projects:

Aren't these fantastic? I think monochrome makes such a sophisticated style statement and suits any one's tastes!

Image

I started with some white cardstock and prepared that into little 3.5"x5" card bases. The squares in this set are just a little bigger than inchie size, which makes them great for creating a smaller card, or you can always use several on one card too if you want to go with more standard dimensions!

Image

I inked up each image with VersaMark and black Versafine, then embossed with clear embossing powder so that they really gave a slick finish. I then stamped some all-occasion sentiments and a black line to accent. Finally I added a strip of black cardstock vertically for some added interest.

Image

Really a very CAS design but these pack such a punch I think! And I've already got a ton of ideas for some slight changes for when I create something similar again!

Image

The great thing about little cards like these is that they can also be a perfect gift for someone - and they take no time at all to whip up!!

Image

They're also pretty much one layer too, so they're nice and flat for boxing up and posting!
