No specific colors. Embellishment/decoration: On classic paper projects you will often find flowers, pearls, die cuts and other traditional paper decorations.
TECHNIQUES
When it comes to the motifs on classic paper projects, these are often stamped and colored. The frames around the motifs are often square, either made by hand or using die cutting. Classic paper projects also often have square panels/mats under the motifs. As a rule, design paper is used rather than self-made backgrounds.
