    Those backgrounds look amazing and your sentiments could have got lost, but you made sure that they didn't. Gorgeous cards yet again! Xx

      Thank you so much Tracy!!! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment too! I was worried about losing the sentiment so thank you for noticing I tried to keep them standing out! It's a challenge sometimes isn't it?

    Beautiful cards! I really like the idea of adding dimension to the words behind the vellum. Brilliant idea.

    Both are stunning Laura, the dark navy card stock really allows the gilding flakes to shine. The “With Love” card is my preferred card, but only by a whisker! Great tip of stacking the sentiment behind the vellum. Thank you for sharing a lovely pair of cards. ❤😘

      Aw thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment Orla ☺️ I really appreciate it! I love how navy is just a bit of change to black but still shows off the flakes. The with love is my favourite too 🩷 thank you so much!
