Hi all. Just a quick update. When I shared the Mountain Air card the other day, I mentioned that I had used a 4 1/4" square of the Sale-a-bration Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper. And yes, it is free! Anyway, I told you I had cut the DSP at an angle and used half on the card I shared. Just wanted to share with you the other half of the DSP, namely the backside of it, and the same card with a little change added.
See, basically the same card using the same stamps, cardstock, ink, etc. It looks a little different using the snowflake-over-plaid Designer Series Paper, which I really like. Maybe even more than the first version.
But I couldn't leave well enough alone. I had the scraps left over from the black glitter paper that the center trees were die-cut from. It was just too pretty to waste. So I took the tiny star from the Christmas Trimmings Die set, and cut as many stars as possible from the scraps. Now I have a tidy pile of stars for future use. The Black Glitter Paper already had the Adhesive Sheets I had put on the back, so it was easy to peel and stick a few on. Did I get carried away with the number of stars? Not sure. I keep going back and forth about that number, but they're on there now, so I guess they're staying.
Here's a little more of a close-up of the Black Glitter Paper tree and stars. The paper seems difficult to photograph and really show how pretty it is. Guess it's just too subtle for my camera As far as I can tell though, it does look gorgeous on the actual card, so I'll be using touches of it here and there quite often. I usually go for the more subtle look on cards, so this is right up my creative alley!
Keep playing around with your stamping 'toys'. It definitely is more fun than therapy! I'll be back with more ideas shortly. Stay tuned!
Happy stamping and creating,
Sharon
