Hi! I had a question regarding the cardstock needed. In the material list it calls for Blush, but in the instructions it lists Wild Cherry. Do I need both colors of card stock?
Always refer to the materials listed within the post as it will have the most accurate updates. So in this case blush is the best paper to use, you will not need wild cherry for this project. We do our best to update the PDF instructions when papers get discontinued and we have to find an alternative but if it differs from the post materials always go by the post. 🙂
