Garden Poetry – Happy Birthday

Using the Garden Poetry Suite, this card was quick and easy to create. There are so many beautiful colors and patterns in this suite, but for this card I chose Poppy Parade because I wanted a bright, bold look.

I love how the vibrant Poppy Parade stands out against the embossed Basic White layer. The added texture gives the card extra dimension while still keeping the design clean and elegant. It’s a simple combination, but one that really makes the floral elements shine.
