Monochromatic Thinking of You Card with Peaceful Pier

Sometimes a simple design says the most. Today’s card features the Peaceful Pier stamp set in a soft monochromatic palette that feels calming and heartfelt — perfect for a thinking of you sentiment. The stamped images and clean layout make this card versatile enough for any occasion where you want to send a little extra care.

The card base is Basic White with a layered panel of Balmy Blue cardstock stamped with the fish image from Peaceful Pier for a subtle, patterned look. A narrow strip of Night of Navy cardstock adds contrast. The focal point is a Misty Moonlight circle, die cut with the Stylish Shapes dies and stamped with the peaceful dock scene in tone-on-tone ink. The sentiment, “thinking of you today,” is stamped in Night of Navy and adhered over the circle for a crisp finish. Two small clear embellishments complete the design without overpowering the clean lines.

When creating a monochromatic card, vary your shades of the same color family to add depth and keep the design interesting. Layering light, medium, and dark blues here helps the images stand out beautifully.
