Melissa Phillips surrounds her sentiment with a beautiful garden of soft florals and feminine details on this elegant card designed to remind a loved one they are always close at heart. 🌸💖 Using the Into the Blooms: Pressed Flowers dies, she layers delicate blossoms and greenery around a pinked edge square sentiment panel, set against a stenciled Sweet Blush background and a watercolor-inspired aqua lower panel. Scrunched seam binding, sparkling sequins, and touches of Crystal Stickles glitter add texture and shimmer, creating a heartfelt design filled with warmth and grace.
