Paper, Not Picked

For this beautiful paper garden rose we used our Metallic Paper. We are absolutely in love with this paper for floral paper crafting! It’s offers the perfect thickness to remain firm yet malleable and the perfect touch of elegant shimmer.  For the photo tutorial to assemble your rose visit PaperPapers.com.
