I was immediately drawn to the gorgeous colors in the inspiration piece, and I knew I had the perfect nautical collection tucked away in the stack of papers I am working to use up this year. The soft blues, sandy neutrals, and gentle florals in the collection felt like a lovely match for the theme.
For the main panel, I die cut several scraps from the collection and selected two special pieces to feature. One showcases a delicate sea shell, and the other highlights a beautiful flower that brings a touch of elegance to the design. Each die cut circle is layered on a grey die cut for contrast, and the top two circles are popped up on dimensionals to create a little lift and interest.
To complete the card, I added another piece from the collection as the background layer, mounted on grey cardstock and then placed on a crisp white card base. The Heartfelt Thanks sentiment is popped up on dimensionals so it stands out nicely, and a few candy dots finish the card with a simple, cheerful touch.
This card came together with a mix of color inspiration, favorite papers, and a little dimension, and I love how peaceful and pretty it feels.
