First of all I'd like to say "Thank You" to Dawn for creating this blog and for inviting me to share this sample. What fun! Hope you enjoy this quick and easy card using To The Nines Textured DSP from the Spring and Summer 2009 IBAC . I have a "thing" for beautiful prints whether it's DSP or fabric. I always look forward to the new designs in each catalog. This paricular paper doesn't look all that pretty in the pictures, but in real life, it's gorgeous. The prints work well for any design. The paper is card stock weight with a wonderful texture. The coordinating colors are Sage Shadow, Sahara Sand and Chocolate Chip. I added Close to Cocoa as well.
The sentiment is from Fifth Avenue Floral, the butterfly from Dreams du Jour. I stamped both with Close to Cocoa Classic Ink, then clear embossed. I used my VersaMarker to enhance the color of the butterfly, then applied Iridescent Ice Emboss followed by Stickles. For the inside I chose the sentiment from Nature's Sillouette and more butterflies as shown below.
Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral, Dreams du Jour, Nature's Sillouette
Ink: Close to Cocoa
Paper: To The Nines DSP, Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow, Sahara Sand
Accessories: VersaMarker, Clear emboss, Iridescent Ice emboss,
Stickles
Beautiful! I love the movement behind the butterflies with the textured DSP.
