So this design came out of nowhere and I’m really digging the look. When I started, I was intending to take it in a completely different look. I love when that happens! I used the Soft Succulent Brushed Metallic Specialty DSP, Gold Foil Sheets, Vellum Basics, Soft Shimmer, Lost Lagoon cardstock, and a piece from the Hello, Irresistible pack for the various layers in this card.
