Do you want to see something gorgeous?! I hope that’s why you’re here. 😊 Well, I have something really special to share with you today.
Today’s card was created by my friend and team member, Maria Friedman, and I was completely blown away when I received it.
Here’s the beautiful z-fold card Maria made for me:
Maria’s z-fold card perfectly showcases one of the stunning pages from the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper. The colors are rich, dark and dramatic in the very best way. If I simply told you about a paper collection filled with nighttime forests and glowing moths, you might pass right by it – but once you see it, it’s impossible not to fall in love.
Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper:
Maria paired the paper with sentiments from the Sending Salutations stamp set. This set includes a wonderful variety of greetings with sentiments designed for both the front and inside of your cards. On Maria’s project, the greetings appear on both the front and back of the card.
Here’s a look at the Sending Salutations stamp set:
For the sentiment on the front, Maria framed it with label dies from the Forever Florals Dies. The soft label shape beautifully balances the bold, dramatic paper.
Here’s a closer look at the front sentiment and die-cut details:
Since the front and inside of the card are so focused on the gorgeous panels of the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper, Maria added the final sentiment to the back of the card for a perfect finishing touch.
Here’s a closer look at that sentiment and the beautifully colored moths Maria added to the back:
I absolutely love every detail of this card – from the rich colors and layered textures to the thoughtful placement of the sentiments. Maria created such an elegant showcase for this beautiful paper collection, and I’m so excited I could share it with you today.
