Pocket Silhouettes

Well, it's been a long day and a long week, and this is definitely not my best work. I struggled for a long time with this and after some things this week, I'm questioning my own creativity a bit. Still, this card ended up nothing like I originally pictured, and I'm honestly glad about that.

The background is an idea I saw a long time ago and kept meaning to try but never got around to it. The squares of color are made with my Stampin' Spots, which are miniature ink pads, about an inch in size. Spots are a great way to get a color family all at once and see which colors you use the most. I obviously still have some spots in my collection to fill in holes in my color families where I don't have full size ink pads. I just stamped each spot in a row across the paper. I like that it looks like an old wall and if I do this again, I'll probably mix up the colors instead of using one for each row, to make it look more like mixed stone or brick.
