Aloha Stampers!
Today’s card is all about soft colors, pretty paper, and a few special details that add just the right amount of elegance.
I started with the Valley in Bloom Designer Series Paper over Barely Blush cardstock for the background. This paper is so pretty that it really doesn’t need much added to it!
For the panel on the left, I used Luxe White Designer Series Paper. I love the subtle pattern in this paper—it adds interest without competing with the beautiful floral background.
The delicate lilies were cut using the Lily of the Valley Bundle, and I cut them from Pearlized Specialty Designer Series Paper. That little bit of shimmer is especially pretty in person and gives the flowers an elegant look without being too fancy.
I added a soft pink ribbon across the card and finished it with the Happy Anniversary greeting. The soft pink and blue-green shades pull out some of the subtle colors in the Valley in Bloom paper and keep everything light and peaceful.
🌺 Crafty Tip: When you’re working with a busy Designer Series Paper, pair it with something subtle, like the Luxe White paper I used here. You still get plenty of texture and interest without taking attention away from the main pattern.
I think this would make such a pretty anniversary card, but you could easily change the greeting and use the same layout for a birthday, thank-you, or thinking-of-you card.
