Better Place

Photo Details

Poster: bensarmom

Our challenge today was to go to the Zenglo and find inspiration. Here is the inspiration for my card. https://i0.wp.com/zenglo.co.uk/wp-co...0%2C1500&ssl=1
I stamped and die cut the flowers and leaves. I embossed the white panel on the front. I die cut the sentiment strip then stamped my greeting. I added my designer series paper to the card front and added my mini card on top of that.

The color palette is so pretty. Your flowers are stunning, and the design is wonderfully put together.

The soft embossing and warm spring palette make this design feel so inviting. The layered florals have such lovely dimension, and the mini card over the patterned paper adds a charming focal point without overwhelming the layout. The sentiment strip is crisp and clean, and the balance between texture and color is really well handled.
