For this alternative use of the Paper Pumpkin May 2016 kit, I looked for some DSP which would work with the die cut. Most didn’t work due to having too large a pattern but this piece of the new Pop of Pink Specialty DSP worked a treat. And it’s amusing to use bright pink with the Many Manly Occasions kit!

Quick and easy to do – I cut a piece of DSP a smidge smaller than my usual insert of 4″ by 5 1/4″ and then stuck it onto a whisper white insert. Then I used the glue dots provided in the kit to attach it to the inside of the die cut card. I added the whisper white because this piece of DSP has a mostly black reverse side and I thought it a bit too harsh for a birthday card!

Next I used my current favourite birthday sentiment from Watercolor Wishes and stamped it badly in melon mambo. As in the h of happy birthday had a smudge. So it was time to look at my embellishments to see what would work to cover this and found the now retired botanical garden jewels. Perfect. They jazzed up the card rather well, hid the error and left me with only 3 jewels for one more card. I’ve almost finished a pot of embellishments. Amazing!

I used a random number generator this morning and it selected number 1 which is Rita. Thanks to all for your comments, they were fun to read.

Rita said “Congrats! I have been making cards for over 20 years. I get so much pleasure out of making a card and giving it to someone. People are so appreciative to receive them”

Rita – just email me your address at lizbaileycards@gmail.com and I’ll mail the cards to you.

See you tomorrow,

Liz
