I glued the 2 postage stamps inside the green rectangle on the left, then I slightly overlapped them with the petals of the flower to create more of that visual layering effect. I will walk you through the other final pieces, I tried to mix things as much as I could just to give you a few ideas.įor example, below you can see how amazing a green background with a green sentiment and a white hydrangea can look. You can arrange the elements on the other cards in the same way or you can come up with other unique ways. I left unglued all the curled edges on all the other flowers while creating the other cards. The edges curled a little bit while the glue was drying but that was actually a good thing! So I’ve decided not to apply glue to the edges, so I can fully harness this curled edge effect and bring even more depth to our card. I’m not sure if you can see it, but the clear glue raised effect added more body to our flower. I love overlapping things in my paper creations, this usually creates a lovely layering effect that brings more visual interest to any project. Then I glued the hydrangea flower on the left side trying to gently overlap all the embellishments and the pink sentiment. I glued the ‘La vie est belle’ sentiment (embellishment) in the upper part of the pink rectangle and the 2 postage stamps on the lower right part (embellishments). I placed the vintage background on the table (the base), then I glued the sepia floral design with a pink background on top (the top). Just to give you a small example, here I went with an all-pink card.
