Hi Everyone,
I wanted to play with the Subtles DSP Paper Stack - I love the patterns we have this year and I decided to pull out a colour that I don't use - Soft Sea Foam. I paired it with Pear Pizzazz because it was just too pale and the patterns didn't show up very well on a white background. I also had a play with the Let's Celebrate Embossing Folders and used the pear pizzazz again. This card needs something more but I don't know what at the moment so I'm looking for suggestions. Sometimes, it's just a day to play with stuff and see what happens, it's not always your best work haha.
Materials
1 piece of thick basic white 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"
8 pieces of dsp 5/8" x 3 7/8"
1 piece of pear pizzazz card 2 7/8" x 5 5/8"
Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
Let's Celebrate Embossing Folders
Multipurpose adhesive
Dimensionals
Instructions
On the long side score the thick white card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.
Lay the dsp strips out on the card front, alternating colours and patterns (I've used one piece of each pattern in the two colours). Adhere them in place on the card front alternating position as well to give this staggered effect.
Run the pear pizzazz card through the machine in the embossing folder and add to the card front using dimensionals.
NOW WHAT? What would you do next? Maybe I'll get some inspiration from the rest of the group, please click on the links and see what everyone else is working on:

I love the idea, great way to showcase that paper and embossing folder. maybe you could add a little shine into it such as some gold, using the Bough Punch and gold foil or the Simply Elegant Trim.
