CI#216 Happy 90th Nancy

I really struggled with these colours- they sat on my desk for weeks, I played with various ideas but nothing worked. Then one morning I had a little idea and in the end the card came together quite quickly. Does this ever happen to you? I really wanted to try layering some frames and so I used the stitched shapes ( squares and arches ) to create two different frames and layered them over a timber look piece diecut from the Nature's Symphony dies , and the large leaf spray from the same set.

I love greens, and the Soft Sea Foam is a lovely colour but it is very soft, so pairing it with a strong colour like Blackberry Bliss can be tough - but you only have to look at all the samples from the design team to see that many different looks are possible.
