There’s nothing like this pretty Stampin’ Up! Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper for dressing up a card in seconds. The floral pattern shown from the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper paper gives the look of emboss resist without the work and clean up.
WHAT I LOVE! No waste! The base of the Flirty Flamingo horizontal layer was created with the right half of the Flirty Flamingo card front.
