Stampin' Up! Re-colour your DSP and make new papers into Thank You Cards

Our twenty ninth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "mossy meadow" from the neutrals collection. I have chosen mossy meadow, flirty flamingo and coastal cabana from the colour coach to work with today for my creation. 


I begun with a mint macaron sheet of designer series paper from the ornate garden specialty designer series paper (DSP) and a blending brush (coming in the upcoming January - June 2021 mini catalogue) and I re-coloured my designer series paper to mossy meadow. I loved the gorgeous design but the colour just wasn't working for me today. You can use other tools to colour the paper, blending brushes just happen to be my new favourite! (Sponges/sponge daubers, brayers etc. also work.)
After I had my mossy meadow DSP, I cut it on an angle along with some coastal cabana from the brights DSP pack (truthfully it was a scrap left over which is why it is smaller than the others!) and finished off with some flirty flamingo cardstock. I kept the flirty flamingo "plain" as I had planned for the sentiment to be on the bottom right hand side of the card.
I used the well written framelits for the sentiment and my faux resin dots in mossy meadow.

Great idea Ros to colour over the DSP - I had no idea you could do this over another colour. Thank you for teaching me that trick! Thank you also for creativity, inspiration and participation in the colour creations blog hop in 2020 x

[CHRISTINE BLAIN]

Great way to custom-colour some DSP, Ros. Yes - I guessed the colour combo you'd be working with! You always choose the most challenging ones, and carry them off so well. Love the addition of the paper and card strip inside your card; beautifully finished.

[Tina Gillespie]

hahaha, I looked at the MM DSP and assumed is was from the Christmas pack. I never would have thought to recolour DSP, but I will certainly give it a try now! Such a bright and happy card.

[Michele Taylor]

Gorgeous inside and out Ros. I love the way that you applied colour to the DSP. Really gives it depth. The Flirty Flamingo and Coastal Cabana are a surprising addition but they work so well.

[Kate Morgan]

That DSP actually looks great coloured with Mossy Meadow and the bold pieces of bright colour sponged on the edges are great. Bingo on the colour combination!

[Diane Furniss]

What a lovely modern card, straight to the point and yet really draws your eye into the design.

[Rachel Woollard]

Great card Ros, simple but amazing!

[Caroline Manwaring]

A great design for this colour combo, Ros.

[Kathryn Ruddick]

Great to colour the DSP like that. I like the angles of the pieces on your card. Now I want to see this card as a Christmas card with Poppy Parade instead of Flirty Flamingo and Pear Pizzazz instead of Coastal Cabana!
