Pretty Paper

 Hello Everyone,

Today I have a card to share that I created for TGIF Challenge #594. They have a very versatile sketch to play with this round. I pulled out some gorgeous patterned paper and some new products for my card. I also used a favorite foliage bundle- I'm not quite ready for the evergreen images that come with the house set. And check out the embossing on the gold background, I'll be using that one over and over again!
