💡 Why It Works: Blackberry Bliss brings rich elegance, making it the perfect backdrop for this love-filled design!

✔ Adhere this layer to the Blackberry Bliss mat for instant dimension and elegance.
💡 Why It Works: The embossed swirls mimic graceful movement and romance, adding subtle yet stunning texture!
3️⃣ Create the Perfect Focal Point!

✔ Layer them for a beautiful contrast and center them on the card.
💡 Why It Works: This mix of bold & soft hues creates visual interest while keeping the design classy & timeless.
