If you are looking for an easy design, this card is sure to please. Personally, I am usually drawn to making cards that include embossing and layered florals. But, every now and then I enjoy making a less complicated card. Today's card fills my heart, the richness that the Very Vanilla adds paired with the Secret Sea is just right!
