I had a few choices of what stamp set I could choose for this theme - but I decided to go with the Lighthearted leaves stamps set. I LOVE that set and it won't be around for much longer, unless... hopefully it appears in the next catalogue but that will be six months away! Boo hoo.
The Lighthearted leaves in monochrome really adds that elegant and classic look that could be appropriate for a wedding card, anniversary or even a sympathy card. I love the look of the lighthearted leaves softly stamped in the background. I did this in Smoky Slate and stamped off so that it wouldn't distract from the main feature. That gorgeous Leaf with the Iced Rhinestone. Are you wondering what that border is? Its washi tape. Doesn't it look fantastic? Such a great way to add texture and a pattern without even using Designer Series paper. I will be using this idea much more often.
Sadly my card is for a sympathy card - the sentiment I felt disappeared into the background so I sponged it in basic black and then played with the cut out so that it curved a bit, just to add a bit of texture without using dimensionals.
