Variations on a Theme

I started with this design here matching three very different patterns of the same color scheme with coordinating ribbon and ink.

The torn piece adds texture and the subtle inking around the sentiment piece helps the layer pop. I repeated the design for other color schemes and then came across the paper for the card below.

The deep aqua blue and circle design on the paper reminded me of scuba diving. So, I pulled out my Heidi Grace stamp set and layered the ribbon with the paper pieces. "by the seaside" is not only stamped but also heat embossed so the letters are glossy and slightly raised. Almost looks like water made the letters.

These were so much fun to make.
