Floating DSP Technique using Hues of Happiness

Hello Everyone,

I thought I’d give this technique a try today using some scraps from my desk! I’ve seen this a few times, most recently by Jill at Paper Daisy Crafting….

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

I don’t use a lot of DSP but I saw some amazing samples from Craft with Jayne and bought some. This technique is great for using scraps!

I think this one in blue is my favourite!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

The Stamparatus made it easy to layer the colours and add the versamark ink!

Why not try stamping onto patterned paper or an ink blended background?

Easel Card with Colour and Contour

Hello Everyone,

I’m bringing out another favourite stamp set for today’s card!

I created a hand stamped background, opting to use Basic Grey rather than black ink for a softer look. This complimented the Highland Heather ink I added to the flowers.

For something different I made this into an easel card. I thought this provided an opportunity for the beautiful scalloped edge to shine through.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

The original card used So Saffron. I love this cute new tag punch!
