This class was fantastic!  I learned so much and I'll be returning to it over and over again as I continue to build my skills. When I started my card research, I found myself drawn to the vintage-inspired cards featuring different types of decorated cakes, cookies, and cupcakes in pastel candy colors.

Many of the cards also featured embellishments like rhinestones, glitter, foil, and embossing.  I wasn't sure how to incorporate glitter in a separate layer in Adobe Photoshop but I figured out how to add rhinestones, foil, and embossing. For presentation only, I used Google Images to get the dot foil layer and the rhinestone photos.  Question:  Is it best to purchase these elements in packages from websites like Creative Market to avoid any copyright infringement issues?

This is my first time working with a presentation format. I don't have a graphic design background so this is all a steep learning curve for me.  However, I really enjoyed working with this format and hope to improve with more practice. I've included two versions of the cake card and lined envelope. I've also included embossed stickers.
