FREE TUTORIAL & SNEAK PEEK! Garden Gatherings Bundle

Published about 2 months ago • 5 min read

Hello Reader,

Today’s clean and simple card brings yesterday’s sketch to life with a fresh mix of bold contrast and soft detail. I’m sharing a sneak peek of the upcoming Garden Gatherings Bundle, paired with two of the NEW In Colors—Golden Glow and Hydrangea Hue—for a modern, eye-catching combination. Crisp layers, a touch of black for definition, and those delicate botanical images make this design feel both polished and playful. Best of all, everything you see here will be available starting May 5.

YAY! ALL SKETCHBOOKS ARE NOW INTERACTIVE. You asked for it and I delivered! These sketchbooks are FREE resources that will make your card making easier!
