While I had originally planned to add some color with the flowers, the neutrals won out on this one . . .

 I dug through my stash of papers and elements to put this card together and came up with three very different pieces:  some highly textured handmade paper, some rough paper with an incised pattern, and some shaped chipboard designs.  Then some Foamiran flowers with button centers got added and we had ourselves the basics under control.  Lots of contrast and texture here and that’s always what I love to play with.
