Welcome to the hop or you may have come from Monique Fielder.
I have chosen the Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper to highlight this week, unfortunately it had not seen any love up until now, but I was surprised how much I enjoyed the Gold and Soft Succulent blend.
It's only available for less than 2 weeks now and has 2 sheets of each of the the Soft Succulent or Cajun Craze with the Rose Gold accents for $14.00.
The card I am caseing is also from the Mini Catalogue and is from page 54, I am using the retiring Daffodil Daydream stamp set and matching Daffodil dies.
I layered the specialty DSP on Soft Succulent cardstock and then added a stitched rectangle in Basic White. I stamped the daffodil image in Evening Evergreen and then used Soft Saffron, Mango Melody and Soft Succulent Blends to colour in. The Forever Fern stamp set and Forever Flourishing Dies in Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen and with a little Pearlescent Specialty Paper in another leaf design.
Finally adding some Linen Thread wrapped around the rectangle and added the sentiment from Painted Labels Dies with White Embossing Powder.

Close up of the daffodil and sentiment.
Inside the card, a single daffodil coloured with the same blends as used on the front of the card.
Thanks for stopping by this week now it's time to see what Rebecca Scurr has created.
I am a bit like you and haven't used this much at all. So sad to see it retire. I love your card, the DSP makes the perfect background.
ReplyDeleteThe metallic paper looks fantastic under your gorgeous daffodil. What a great way to bling up a card without too much messy effort - my kind of card!
ReplyDeleteThe paper sets the daffodils off a treat, a lovely card. Love the cheeky bloom on the inside too.
