Welcome to the ABC’s with DSP! Today I am making some Unique DSP. You can find inspiration anywhere. Today mine came as I was wrapping a gift and needed to make a card to go with it. The paisley pattern on the wrapping paper reminded me of Stampin’ Up!’s Paisley & Posies Stamp Set. So I gathered my markers, stamp set, and cardstock and decided to make my own designer series paper to coordinate with the wrapping paper.
I started with an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of Pink Pirouette cardstock. I randomly stamped 3 images from the Paisleys & Posies Stamp Set using Sweet Sugarplum ink. Next was the fun part…coloring! I used Pink Pirouette, Sweet Sugarplum, So Saffron, Peekaboo Peach, Pear Pizzazz, and Wild Wasabi markers to color on the cardstock. (The Wild Wasabi turned out to be darker when colored on the cardstock so I switched to using the Pear Pizzazz.)
Next I cut a piece of 5 1/2 x 3 1/4 piece from my unique DSP and layered it on a piece of Sweet Sugarplum cardstock that measures 5 1/2 x 3 1/2. I adhered this to my Whisper White card base. I stamped the sentiment from Birthday Blossoms with Sweet Sugarplum ink and cut it out using the Layering Ovals Framelits. I cut a scallop oval from Sweet Sugarplum to layer my sentiment. Most of the cards I make seem to evolve as I create and this one was no exception. I wish I could say I planned it that the flower would match up perfectly but, I was playing around with where to lay the sentiment and noticed how cool that worked out! I attached the layered sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals then I used the Paisley Framelits to cut out a flower from my “unique” DSP. I cut off the stem before attaching it with a glue dot.
I used more of my DSP to decorate my envelope to match.
