Easy Tricks for Amazing Contrast!
Two simple ways to make layered florals look bolder and more finished with just a few small contrast tweaks.
If your floral cards ever feel a little flat, contrast is the fastest way to fix it. In this live replay, I use the Sweet Bouquet Bundle from Altenew to create two different looks that come together quickly, but still feel high impact.

I love how both looks turned out because they prove you do not need complicated coloring to get a card that feels finished. A little shading, one bold contrast choice, and one sparkle element goes a long way.

Happy crafting!
