I’m so happy with how this card turned out. I wasn’t sure until I started coloring whether I would like it or not. This would be a great card for a guy.
I used the Patterned Party Designer Series Paper for the background Layer. This paper is a Host product which means you can get it for free with your Host Rewards. It’s has a whopping 48 sheets of 12x12 patterned paper; 4 each of 12 double-sided designs. One side has a great black and white pattern and the other has brightly colored patterns. I love this paper.
I chose the black and white pattern and colored the leaves with fall colored Stampin’ Blends. It’s really so pretty!
