I then adhered the Basic Black panel onto the Cinnamon Cider card front.

I adhered the doily and attached the flower using dimensionals.

I then adhered the tag to the bottom of the Basic Black panel.

Lastly, I added a few enamel dots, a couple of star embellishments, and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Love OSW#3

This is card 3 of 13 cards made from one 12 x 12 sheet of designer series paper. I used two strips of DSP bordered by strips of velvet ribbon and a cut up doily. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Love What You Do

Paper:

   Very Vanilla A-2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Share What You Love DSP 5-1/2 x 1/2 (2)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

   Mint Macaron

Technique:

   Stamp-Off

   OSW

Accessories:

   Pearlized Doilies

   Share What You Love Artisan Pearls

   Velvet Ribbon - 2 Strips

   Glue Dots

   Tacky Tape or Tear & Tape

   Adhesive

First, I cut my two strips of DSP, and played with the placement on the left side of the card front.

Next, I decided to add a bit of Mint Macaron to draw some attention to my sentiment. I stamped off on a scratch paper and then applied it to the center right of my card.

I then stamped my sentiment on top of it.

Next, I adhered a strip of velvet ribbon to the left edge of the card front, followed by a strip of DSP.

I decided to repeat the velvet and DSP strip, but added a bit of pearlized doily to the DSP before adhering it. I cut one doily and added only the edges to form a scalloped edge. 

Lastly, I added a few pearls and adhered the other Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the card.

Here is the template for cutting the DSP:

If I plan to use the DSP for card fronts, I cut my sheet into 6 panels. I make my first cut by turning the DSP on it's side and cutting either at 5-1/2 or 5-1/4. Next, I turn it 180 degrees and cut it again at 5-1/2 or 5-1/4. I then take each of these strips and cut them at 4" and 4". This created 6 card fronts. I leave the left-over strip intact until I am ready to use it. I then take each panel and decide how to use it on a card. As you can see above, I cut two strips off of this panel. Tomorrow you will see what I did with the other section: Card 4.

Make Me Happy

 This card can be given to someone for Valentine's Day or just because they cause you to smile and feel joyful. Don't you agree?

Stamps:

   Happy Wishes

Paper:

   Elegant Eggplant A-2

   Watercolor 2-1/4 x 4-1/4

   Red Glitter 1/2 x 4-1/4

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Markers:

   Basic Black

   Real Red

   Melon Mambo

   Old Olive

   Always Artichoke

   Elegant Eggplant

   Perfect Plum 

Brushos:

   Yellow

   Gamboge

   Brilliant Red

Technique:

   Watercolor

   Markering

   Punching

Accessories:

   White Tea Lace Doilies

   Hearts Border Punch

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Water Spritzer

   Adhesive

I began with my watercolor background. I sprinkled on some brushos and then spritzed the panel with water. I dabbed it with a paper towel here and there. I may have added a bit more flakes along with water. I then set it aside to dry.

I then took the large happy stamp and my markers. I colored in the happy with Basic Black and used the other markers on the flowers below.

Once the watercolor panel was dry, I breathed on the stamp to re-activate the ink and then stamped my panel.

I then added the words above the happy.

I chose to add a bit of glimmer. In looking through my envelope of Red Glitter paper, I found the strip that I had used to punch out hearts. So, I decided to just place it on the bottom of the card as a border. This is why I don't like to throw away my scraps. (I also sometimes punch these pieces to create fillers for my shaker cards.)

The two panels looked a bit bland to me. So, I grabbed one of my doilies and placed it underneath. I think it is just what the card needed. I adhered the layers onto the card. 

Lastly, I added rhinestones and the other panel to the inside of the card.
