The finished project

Create a stunning layered card featuring delicate foliage die-cuts framing a watercolour floral scene in soft purples and pinks. This elegant design uses the Garden Frame die to build dimensional layers around a central window, creating a beautiful three-dimensional effect. The white die-cut foliage provides a crisp contrast against the gentle watercolour background.
