I’m definitely guilty of hoarding DSP; I think this is only the second time that I’ve used this pattern from the Botanical Gardens DSP and it retires in only 11 days. I think I’ll be making some multiples soon.

When I made this card at the weekend, the Greetings thinlits were still available but having just checked the retiring list, they are gone – sorry about that. Hopefully you have something else that could work. The Botanical Gardens DSP is still available though.

I wanted to have a wide border around the DSP to really have your eye drawn to the gorgeous paper and then I added a very skinny black border (just 1/8 inch bigger in both dimensions) to make the DSP really pop. The base is in old olive.  I cut out the cheers with the Greeting thinlits and cajun craze card stock and used my 2 way glue pen (retiring but still available – I grabbed an extra one because it’s so great for adhering skinny words) to add that to an appropriate gap between the beautiful birds of paradise flowers.

I decided to continue to feature the cajun craze colour in the DSP and lined the envelope with one of my last remaining pieces of the cajun craze backgrounds DSP. I think I mentioned that I hoard DSP? The backgrounds stack retired LAST year!

Drop me an email if you need a catalogue or want to take part in my product share. Details here.

See you tomorrow,
