PAPER CAKE TRAIL

For this card I used a variety of patterned papers and textures.  I used Co-ordinations Pink Paper for my base.  I really love this paper because you can sand it for a shabbier look.  I used some Cottage Wall from SU, Magnolia and Glitz.  I of course finished it of with a few stamps and embellishments.
