Project Details
This card is all about layering color, texture, and dimension in a fun and approachable way. The Citrus Blooms Die Set creates a bold focal point, while the new Scrapbook.com cardstock adds rich color and contrast throughout the design. A bit of Distress Ink blending helps tie everything together and adds just the right amount of depth.
The mix of patterned paper, die cuts, and foam adhesive keeps the layout playful and dimensional without feeling complicated. It’s a great example of how to build a bright, eye-catching card with just a few key elements.
