Create an elegant everyday card using the Midnight Blooms collection featuring grey, white and pink lace-effect designs. This A2 card features a decorative vellum wrap-around overlay with ornate corner embellishments and delicate pink flowers, creating a sophisticated layered effect visible on both the front and back of the card. The main techniques include layering patterned papers, positioning vellum overlays, and adding dimensional corner decorations.
Create an A2 card base by folding a piece of cardstock in half. The card should open landscape style with the fold along the left edge.
