Greetings!
I've had the Your Path Awaits stamp set for a couple months and just hadn't taken the time to play with it until today. This stamp set is comprised of a bunch of pieces that you put together to create your scene. The focal point is a path - shocker! 😄 - and trees, building walls, a fountain, etc. to build the landscape scene. I love stamp sets like this as it allows you to use a different color for each part of the landscape, instead of a scene that's all one stamp.
It took me a few tries to get my scene created but the result is very simple and serene, which is what I was going for.
It's a Photopolymer stamp set which makes it very easy to see exactly where you're stamping so lining up the various parts of the scene is a breeze. Adding the lovely message at the top is all it needed. I tried to think of a way to add a ribbon or an embellishment and there simply wasn't anything that felt right. That's okay! It's fun to truly have a card that is nothing but stamps, inks and paper. No die cuts or punches even! Not even any Designer Series Papers!
Because this card is so simple I intentionally offset the panel on the card front, and repeated the same mat layer to the inside for the message. Therefore I used the same size Basic White and Boho Blue cardstock pieces to anchor the lovely message from the In the Moment stamp set. I think you'll agree that it adds a nice touch. These two stamp sets pair well for their images and their messages. I love when that happens!
