Card 1

Let’s start with the deep, dreamy blue card!

For this design, I wanted the colors to glow against a bold background — and that navy backdrop made the perfect canvas for these pastel blooms. I built up this background with Distress Oxide inks in Chipped Sapphire, Uncharted Mariner and Black Soot on the edges.

The flowers were embossed and inked up in soft, blended hues of pink, purple, and aqua for a luminous look ( I used Distress Oxide inks here too). To tie everything together, I splattered some metallic paint across the background for extra sparkle and texture (because who doesn’t love a little shimmer?).

I finished the card with a crisp sentiment from the Tabbed Sentiment set that says “Wishing you the most wonderful day”, perfectly nestled among the flowers for a clean but eye-catching finish.

Design Tip:

When working with darker backgrounds, use white die-cut edges or light ink blending to make your florals pop. The contrast gives that dimensional, almost glowing effect that feels like magic! I actually chose to add some ink to my white edges to have it blend with the background more, since my florals were pretty light in colour.

Card 2

For the second card, I went in a softer direction — think bright, happy, and full of gratitude. I used a mix of pastel pinks, lavenders, aquas, and soft corals to create a fresh floral arrangement that feels light and airy but with a vibrance of colour.

The oval frame adds a touch of elegance while anchoring the composition, and those layered “thank you” sentiments give the perfect balance of bold and sweet. A few black splatters and sequins brought in just the right amount of contrast and shine!

Design Tip:
Don’t underestimate the power of a good splatter! It’s one of the easiest ways to add energy and movement to your card design. Lightly tap your loaded brush or paintbrush handle over your card for small, controlled droplets. For a looser, artsy effect, hold the brush higher and let those splatters fall naturally. Just remember to cover any sentiment areas you want to keep clean!
