Yvon

Here is what the design team had to say...

Yvon's card caught my attention because of all the gorgeous details that I kept seeing the longer I kept looking at her card. Loving the layering of hearts and embellishments - so very pretty!

Nora

I love everything about this card, from the bold, cheerful colours and cute focal image to the sponged, distressed background and confetti sequins. Fabulous use of our sketch!

I love the different purples and moody blues. The various layers behind her beautiful flowers are fabulous.
