One of the new papers in the upcoming holiday catalog is the Petals and Paisleys Specialty DSP and I wanted to really make a feature of it with this card.

I cut a piece of the DSP to 5 1/8″ by 3 7/8″ and mounted it on a piece of very vanilla that is 5 1/4″ by 4″ and I then glued this to a night of navy card base. I then used rich razzleberry to stamp the sentiment from Watercolor Wishes onto a scrap of very vanilla. Next up were my new layering ovals framelits which I used to cut out the sentiment and also to provide a frame of night of navy. This I popped up with stampin’ dimensionals, leaving lots of the Petals and Paisleys Specialty DSP showing as was my original plan. At this point I felt as if something was missing so I added a few of the night of navy enamel shapes to a few of the flowers.

Isn’t this DSP beautiful? I think this is almost my favourite paper in this pack – there’s a gorgeous night of navy and copper one which wins out. I’m going to play with that next even though I can feel reluctance to cut into it! I know we all do this, but saving the favourite papers and never using them just doesn’t make sense!

See you tomorrow,
