I rarely think to include scoring on my card, but SCS showcased a scoring technique that allows you to create a shaped scored area. (I used washi to hold the larger of the label dies in place, scored the white panel, then used two sizes of dies to create the frame and adhered it so the scoring showed through the frame.)
To decorate the frame, it was run through a Swiss dot EF to give more texture. Many flowers were die-cut from snippets of yellow, lavender, pink and green cardstock, then layered on top of each other to create the flowers and leaves. Snippets were also used for the blue frame and mat under the sentiment. The white panel was attached to a blue base card.
