Paradise Garden Thank You Card

Paradise Garden Bundle

Most of the time when I sit down to create a card, I have a very specific plan. But for this card, I needed a little bit of me time..... so I just picked my bundle and went for it!

The foil card stock is very very beautiful, and I could not capture it with my camera no matter how many lighting arrangements I tried. There are three different colors in the pack, and they are all stunning! Thankfully, the detail view was able to capture the embossed card front..... one of my favorite embossing folders ever!!

Paradise Garden Bundle

The foil cardstock is supposed to be closer to Berry Burst, but in natural light I thought the Melon Mambo was a better match...... I am guessing that if I had used the Berry Burst, then the colors would have probably photographed as more of a match...... Regardless, I still like my Melon Mambo flowers!

Nature's Symphony in Secret Sea

Nature's Symphony Bundle + Beautiful Motifs Bundle + Lasting Linen Stamp + Stylish Shapes Dies

This weeks Monochromatic Insta Hop color is Secret Sea. I used a blending brush to create a lighter tone of Secret Sea on Basic White for the die cut fern.

The Lasting Linen background stamp created a great background for the card front. I distressed the edges of the card front by running the edge of my scissors along the edge, till it was appropriately frayed.
