This gorgeous card has several steps to it, and logically many areas and I am layering them all. Remember, when you do this card, you do you! Please reach out if you have questions or watch the video for more clarification.

  • Card base is a piece of Evening green that measures 12”. X 12”

      • 4 pieces of rose gold specialty paper measuring 3-7/8” x 3-7/8”
      • 3 pieces of Designer Series Paper measuring 3-3/4” x 3-3/4”. I am using the Santa Express  DSP.

    • 1 piece in rose gold measuring  4” x 4”
