My first card is made using Wild Flowers and the "poppin' pastels/chalkboard" technique with lots of black and white and a bright pop of color. The designer paper in the background is from the GKD Casual Fridays designer paper pack.
Here's another print from Casual Fridays, so perfect for masculine cards which are a breeze to make with Masculine Tags.
