A Tip from Barb
This is the perfect card sketch for whenever you have some pretty paper you’d like to use! Just grab 2 patterns from the paper that you want to use, decide which one will be your focal point (in this case, the flower) and then pull your coordinating cardstock, inks and any embellishments you’d like! An easy peasy card without any stress – I love when my pretty paper can do the heavy lifting on my cards!😊
