Card Inspiration – Soft Carnation Thank You Card
For this card, I wanted to keep the colour palette soft and calming, allowing the carnations to feel light and dimensional without overwhelming the design. The layered blooms sit on a simple stacked panel layout, creating just enough structure while still keeping the focus on the florals.
The addition of white paint splatter adds texture and movement, while a simple twine bow brings in a subtle, tactile detail. The sentiment is kept neutral so the card works for a wide range of occasions.
