Poster: inkpad

This is for today's Inspiration Challenge and I chose this background. I'd also been meaning to try the CAS calling for a large sentiment. Maybe I used a little too much of the DSP flowers to keep the greeting as the focal point though? This greeting is from a scrapbooking set but I think it makes a great anniversary type card.

The soft woodgrain with the bright floral spray creates such a warm, welcoming setting for that bold sentiment. The balance you achieved between the large greeting and the patterned blooms feels intentional and serene, and the white embossing adds a clean lift that keeps everything crisp. A lovely interpretation of the inspiration piece and a natural fit for an anniversary design.
