CARD DETAILS
I started by hot foiling the BetterPress of the Month sentiment in Matte Gold foil on blue cardstock. Next, I partially embossed the cardstock above the sentiment using Embossing Folder of the Month. I added dark blue and black ink blending around the edges to darken the panel.
Next, I die cut flowers from various colors of cardstock using the Large Die of the Month and create a floral arrangement framing the sentiment. I adhered the embellished panel to A2 card base made from the same color cardstock. Done!
