Here’s a simple way to tone down some very busy designer paper. I added two blocks of sold cardstock in complementary colors. The sunflower is a die cut which is then cut in half and layered over the Just Jade cardstock.
The second piece of solid cardstock has the sentiment. By placing both the die and the sentiment in the middle it breaks up the busy daisy pattern paper.
I always try to pull something from the front of the card to the inside of the card. Here I used the same stamp set to add a colorful image with a sentiment over the top. The contrast between the busy front and the quieter inside is fun for the eyes.
