Such a charming take on the sketch—your matchbook design feels both nostalgic and fresh. The floral panel is beautifully framed by those rich purples, and the gems add just the right touch of sparkle. I love how the Thoughtful Journey paper brings a sense of quiet elegance to the whole piece. This format suits the scene so well, like a little keepsake waiting to be opened.

I have never made a matchbook card before. Looks like a project I need to try! Your card is absolutely lovely. Purples and greens together always make me happy!
