Welcome to your Make it With Margi October Tutorial Card #3. Inspired by Nature, we pair Whimsical Trees Bundle with Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper. There are two options for you. One is the Blushing Bride (pale pink) version and the other is our vibrant Polished Pink (bright pink). I was inspired by the brilliant colour of our Pink Pearl Rhododendron. The colours of Nature match the colours in our Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Paper beautifully.
If you’re not in my class groups, you are welcome to enjoy these designs and your own creativity. If you would like to join one of my groups (online – at the moment) and live in Australia, please contact me. I would love to hear from you.
Whimsical Trees Bundle with Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper Card
There are two options shown; with similar layout. I’ve just flipped the paper. You might like to create other options. The paper is stunning and foiled with iridescent highlights; once again, it doesn’t just have to be for Christmas.
INGREDIENTS FOR SWEET STOCKINGS AND EDEN’S GARDEN CARD.
