In Color DIY DSP Thinking of You Card - #GDP 293

If you have been following me for a while you may remember that about two months ago I participated in the Global Design Project weekly challenge and created a fun fold card. This week I decided to join in the fun again! 

You can find the complete details for this weeks challenge here. This is a color challenge just like the last one I did and I was very inspired by the color combination. I pulled out a few different retired stamp sets to create my own DSP.

 

Supplies

1 - 8 1/2"x 11" sheet of Basic White cardstock

1 - 8 1/2"x 11" sheet of Soft Succulent cardstock

1 - 2 3/4"x 4 1/8" piece of Pale Papaya cardstock

1 - 3/4"x 1 1/2" piece of Basic White cardstock

Pendant Park stamp set

Hand-Penned Petals stamp set

A Touch of Ink stamp set

Pale Papaya ink

Soft Succulent ink

Evening Evergreen ink

Versamark ink

White Embossing Powder

Heat Gun

Instructions

I started with the full sheet of Basic White cardstock first. I used the gorgeous tree image from the Pendant Park stamp set, I stamped this image in Soft Succulent leaving space between each image. I then took the larger leaf from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set and began stamping it in Evening Evergreen in between the large tree images, but leaving room between the leaves for my the next image. In the A Touch of Ink stamp set there is a very cute speckle stamp that I used in Pale Papaya to fill in the white spaces. I decided I wanted to add something extra to the card so I brought the first tree image in and stamped it in Versamark ink I wanted the embossing to overlap the per-existing images so I wasn't too concerned with where I was stamping the tree (but I didn't want the embossed images to overlap). You can either stamp and emboss each image individually or you can stamp a few and then emboss and repeat this process until your happy. This was the finished result before I cut it up for on my cards. The second picture is a close up of the design and heat embossing, pictures just don't do this justice.

I then cut the cardstock to 2 5/8"x 4". I was able to make 8 identical cards from this one piece of DIY DSP. I then layered it onto the piece of Pale Papaya cardstock.

Then take the 8 1/2"x11" sheet of Soft Succulent cardstock and cut it down to 4 1/4"x11" and score it at 5 1/2" along the long side.

I then took the little piece of Basic White cardstock and stamped the Thinking of You sentiment form the A Touch of Ink stamp set in Evening Evergreen. I then adhered it to the DSP and Pale Papaya layer lining it up to the edge of the DSP layer. I then adhered the panel to the center of the front of the card.

I hope you will play along with the challenges! Head over the Global Design Project to see all the different projects everyone made this week. 

Happy Paper Crafting!
