Will miss these papers, they make such fabulous backgrounds so not a lot else is needed. All I did was a little stamping, blending and punching.

Card Stock: basic white, blackberry bliss

Designer Series Paper: *new horizons

Ink: craft white,*misty moonlight

Punches: banner pick a punch

Stampin' Up Blends: *misty moonlight
