I love the scored box around her sentiment, and to mock the look of the box I made window for the chalkboard panel with the sentiment, and I used a 3D butterfly as a focal point in the lower left corner instead of the popped up flower. I also used patterned paper as a vertical border on the edges of the card's background. The yellow and spring colors inspired my color choices as well.
Here's the beautiful inspiration card by Amy Kolling:

| To make a panel that looks like a chalkboard I stamped the image in white pigment ink, then restamped it with Versamark and used white embossing powder, it made a smudged look, then I used a white colored pencil for the faux stitching around the border. |
