Designer Tip: I really wanted this photo of my daughter to shine. Since it has a lot of bright blue on its background, I avoided using any of the blue papers and instead layered several of the beautiful, soft green and pink papers. That in itself really made the photo stand out. Still, there wasn't enough "wow" for me, so I made a quick visit to my ribbon stash. By adding a layer of blue trim topped with a blue triple bow, I was able to achieve color balance and make the photo "pop".

Designer Tip: I always try to use an odd number of items in my embellishment clusters. For some reason, an odd number of items (3, 5, 7, etc.) seems to be more pleasing to the eye than an even number. Have you ever noticed that appetizers in restaurants tend to come in sets of odd numbers (i.e., 5 cheese sticks)? Following this rule, my card includes an odd number of flowers. Give it a try!
