I combined the colours with this week's Clean and Simple Fall To Layout because my Verve flowers were calling my name again :) I used the Great Friend flower this time and stamped it with French Script for a little pattern on the flower. The fabulous sentiment is from Kind Words, and I used the Leafy Branch embossing folder on the white panel for a little dimension. I flipped back and forth between matting the embossed panel with black or leaving it white. It's amazing how one little mat can change the look of your card so drastically. As you can tell, the white on white won out :)
Happy Friday and have a great weekend!!
