Monochromatic Mint Motif

Today's the big day! Kimberly Crawford's Mint Motif stamp line is now available exclusively at i {heart} papers. The first two coordinating sets, Very Square and Very Square Sentiments are amazingly versatile.

Here's my first card using the two sets. It was inspired by this week's CAS-tastic Wednesday Challenge to make a clean and simple card using circles. I went with a clean and simple design that uses one of the square images in a round shape. I stamped the image 3 times in bold pink ink on pale pink cardstock, then punched a different sized circle from each square. The circles are layered on a slightly larger bold pink circle and arranged directly on the pink card base. A clear crystal is attached to the center of each circle for a little sparkle.

I stamped one of the coordinating sentiments in the space next to the circles. Because of the space I had to work with, I ended up omitting part of the sentiment, but it was easy to do with the squared shape of the image. I wrapped a piece of very cool looking pink/rose textured ribbon around the top of the card and added a matching Bow Easy-ed bow to finish the card.
