I grabbed a watercolored panel that I had on hand. I used light pinks and blues on the background. Pink Pirouette? Sky Blue? These are usually my favorites.

I stamped my image in the center using Tuxedo Black Memento. 

The "Happy" was stamped using Melon Mambo, and the "Summer" was stamped using Emerald Envy.

I then colored in my image using various markers. Choose your own color scheme or use your favorites.

Lastly, I adhered the watercolored panel onto the Blush Blossom card front, and the Basic White panel onto the inside of the card.

HAPPY STAMPING!

So Very

 Do you have scraps of designer series paper or printed paper laying around in your paper stash? I found that I have many 1" strips left over after cutting up my 12 x 12 DSP sheets. So, here is an idea to use up some of them.

Stamps:

   So Very

Paper:

   Pear Pizzazz A-2

   Whisper White 5 x 3-3/4, 5-1/4 x 4

   Designer Series Paper 1 x 3-3/4 (5)

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

Technique:

   None

Accessories:

   Adhesive

Cut five strips of coordinating designer series paper. They should all measure the same. I cut mine at 1 x 3-3/4.

Next, arrange them and adhere them on a 5 x 3-3/4" panel of Whisper White, or to a panel cut at the same measurement as your strips. 

This panel is then adhered to a card base of a coordinating color.  I chose Pear Pizzazz for mine.

Lastly, stamp and adhere a sentiment. I chose to stamp directly onto my light colored strip of DSP. 

The main focus is to use all of your DSP scraps. You can also choose to attach a 1/4" or 1/8" strip between the strips or to frame your sentiment. I found that I have many of those left over as well.
