Spring Whispers: A Soft and Layered Card for the Altenew February Challenge

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today, I’m sharing a soft, layered card reminiscent of spring: it’s all about subtle peachy-blush petals, framed in rose metallic, surrounded by sparkly, shimmering foliage, and a heartfelt “hugs” sentiment on a pale gray, partially embossed background.

This card is inspired by the most gorgeous inspiration picture and soft floral card by Lea Lawson, host of the Altenew February 2026 Inspiration Challenge — you can check it out here: https://altenew.com/blogs/paper-crafting-inspiration-and-tips/february-2026-inspiration-challenge   I’d love for you to join in — it's such a fun way to spark ideas (plus, there are gift cards to be won!).
