I simply can’t get enough of the Stampin’ Up! Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper used on today’s thank you card. The patterns and colors bring so much vibrancy and summery style.
WHAT I LOVE! I’m “nutso” about adhesive dots. If you follow my blog, you’ll know that I use them on most cards and typically as a single or trio of dots. The gold Festive Pearls on today’s card are the perfect touch of “glam” and coordinate with the richness and tone of the gold Simply Elegant Trim.
