Today's card was inspired by the Beautiful Blossoms mood board photo and the Try a Sketch on Tuesday sketch. The mood board featured a vase with an array of purple, yellow and white flowers. I paired a digi image with a stamped sentiment for the focal point. For the background panel, I found snippets of yellow and lavender patterned papers that worked well together and enhanced the main image. After taping the three strips together, I ran them through an embossing folder. (It's called Textile and it's very old -- I think the first EF I purchased. I mention this because a few weeks ago someone posted a picture on FB trying to get info on the EF; since I still have the original packaging I answered. )
