    What a great idea! I love that stacked look to make those children pop out, I also think having those flowers flow through them gives a fun garland look to them! I just made a card today with Spellbinders dies and using stacked die cuts to give dimension too. Oh & Thanks for this new section on your blog, looking forward to seeing more tips!

    Great new series! Yana, I love this idea, and the beautiful patterned paper really sets it off! I love the sprinkle of little flowers across the children. A beautiful, keepsake BD card.
