Wildflower Fields DSP Archives

I was rather happy with how my card turned out for the design team last week and since I cut the DSP at an angle for that card, I had another similar piece. I decided to colour this using the retiring in colors. I was going to colour just a few of the dots but in the end, colouring them all worked better. I did around an equal number of each colour but then coloured all the remainder in mossy meadow.

So after colouring the dots in mossy meadow, hello honey, blackberry bliss, lost lagoon and tangelo twist, I tried all of the card bases to see what would work. In the end, I decided on whisper white and mounted the DSP onto a card base of thick whisper white. Then I added a sentiment in mossy meadow (from my current favourite, Watercolor Wishes) mostly because I have enamel dots in mossy meadow and I’m trying to use up retiring embellishments. So I added the mossy meadow enamel dots in a couple of sizes.

I’d like to give a warm welcome to my new blog follower. I’m so happy that you’ve elected to receive my posts in your inbox. Just let me know if you have any questions – the same goes for all my readers.

See you tomorrow – a little later since it’s a Thursday and it’s a new challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches and I need to coordinate with their posting.

Here’s a use for a retired Sale-a-bration DSP which you probably still have in your stash. I know that I have plenty! Today is Thursday which means it’s a new challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches.

This week Louise has chosen quite an interesting combination of colours. It definitely had me thinking for a while. Here’s the banner for the challenge – go for it, have a go with these colours.

I took one of the sheets of Wildflower Fields and used the stampin’ write markers in tempting turquoise, chocolate chip and blushing bride to colour in some of the circles. I then cut this piece on an angle and added a sentiment from the Watercolor Wishes set in tempting turquoise. I may have mentioned that I love this set – I’m so happy that it’s carrying over. I glued this piece onto the whisper white card stock.

Next I cut an envelope liner using the (retired!) envelope liner framelits and then coloured in more of the DSP (yes, as mentioned, I have loads!) with the three colours.

And there you have it. Lots of white space. No embellishments. A CAS card. My favourite type! It’s amazing what you can do with a piece of black and white DSP and a few pens.

See you tomorrow,
