Don’t overlook the incredibly versatile Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper! This variety of 6″ x 6″ papers includes a large selection of colors, some having an ombre appearance which allows them to coordinate with even more!
Silver foil can include texture! Grab an embossing folder and emboss this shiny paper, just like I did for this carousel pole!
Allow the designer paper to determine your color palette. Choosing the papers first makes create quick and easy!
Grab those Blending Brushes and add a variety of colors. Choose colors that blend well to provide a beautiful transition.
The inside sentiment was too long to fit within the white cardstock so I opted to ink each word individually before stamping. Learn how in today’s video!
