Today's card is one I have made for a Challenge which was to design your own dsp. I love doing this, there is no right or wrong, just stamp and see what happens. It's great fun, why not give it a try?
Materials
1 piece of Bumblebee card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"
2 pieces of Whisper White 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"
Lovely You stamp set
Bumblebee ink
Magenta Madness ink
Just Jade ink
Misty Moonlight ink
2020-2022 In Colour enamel dots
Lovely Labels Pick a Punch
Scraps of whisper white and just jade card stock for the sentiment
Multipurpose adhesive
Dimensionals
Trimmer
Bone Folder
Instructions
Score the bumblebee card stock at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.
Stamp your design on one of the pieces of whisper white - I have random stamped the flowers and the leaves in 4 of the in colours for 2020-2022. There is no right or wrong way to do this, just go for it. I started with the largest image which is the leave flourish in just jade, then the leaf stem in misty moonlight. Then I added a few of the larger flowers in bumblebee and then some of the smaller ones in magenta madness. Remember to turn the block so that the images are not all facing the same way and stamp off the sides as well, it makes it look more natural. I had a few gaps so I filled those in with the single flower in just jade and the little fleur de lis type stamp in magenta madness.
Then I stamped the sentiment in just jade on a strip of whisper white 3/4" x 3 3/4" and punched both ends of it with the lovely labels pick a punch. I then punched both ends of a strip of just jade 1" x 4" and glued them together.
Adhere the remaining whisper white layer on the inside of the card for your message, you can also decorate this if you like. I have added a few flowers.
Add the decorated piece of whisper white to the front of the card leaving a small border all around the edges and then add the sentiment layer using dimensionals. I've also added a couple of the enamel dots to this layer in cinnamon cider.
I hope that you like my card and will give stamping your own dsp a go.
