It's Tuesday and you know what that means! It's another The Spot challenge. This week we are creating our own DSP (Designer Series Paper). For my contribution, I used a returning stamp set called Harvest Hellos. I love this cute set and the matching punch. I didn't use the punch since I was stamping my DSP.
I started with a fill sheet of 81/2"x 11" Whisper White paper. Using Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the pumpkin and stems. I turned my stamp a quarter turn each time. Then I colored with Stampin' Write markers. I let the markers help me by making lines. Had I chosen to use Blends, the lines would not have appeared but would have had a smooth round blend effect. I feel that look was better suited for the apple rather than a pumpkin that has lines as part of it's texture. Once I colored the whole sheet, I added a watercolor wash of Misty Moonlight in the white space around the pumpkins. I let this be supper rough and messy.
To finish the card, I layered a Whisper White strip over a 2" circle of Vellum Cardstock. Then I attached them to my card over some of the new 3/8" Embroidered Ribbon. To complete the look, I added some stars from the All The Trimmings embellishment pack.
I am really happy with how my card ended up looking on the layers of Cajun Craze and Misty Moonlight cardstock. I did place Whisper White on the inside of the card, Cajun Craze is on the edge of being to dark to write a message on. I hope that you are inspired to create your own background paper! It's really fun to do and creates some stunning one of a kind cards! Until next time.... create a little Kindness one card at a time!
