In keeping with my plan to make a new valentines card every day for 2 weeks, I decided to take advantage of the Crafty Collaborations Crafty Challenge Blog Hop to make a super pretty floral card. For this challenge, the elements to be used are In-Colors, staple, Friendship, Masking and Fancy Fold. I used all but the staple. I chose to use the 2022-2024 In-colors palette and narrowed it down to Parakeet Party, Orchid Oasis and Sweet Sorbet. I love how bright and happy this card turned out!
