Create a simple 2015 New Year’s Garland with Plike Bordeaux

By now I’m sure you’ve heard the news—Marsala is Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2015. It’s a sudden change of pace from the light pinks and mint colors that have recently gained popularity, but I think this deep hue will fit right in. Not only am I already pairing it with the mints and pinks, but also with GOLD! With Plike Bordeaux from our Grandioso line, and a gold foil sheet, Kelly Paper has the perfect paper to let you play with this great combination.
