When I saw a card similar to this from Karen Henderson in the UK, I just HAD to make it. I love the way she used the Wintry 3D embossing folder to tie in the various leaf shapes. And well I do love me a white card base! The colors, patterns and textures just pop on this pretty card.

Tropical foliage is my favorite! Large lush leaves in an array of greens make me so happy. I can’t explain it. The Artfully Composed Suite with the Artfully Layered Bundle is my happy place! I really like the look of two different fonts as seen in the sentiments and this color combo using the new Parakeet Party and Orchid Oasis is stunning.
