Blogger's Challenge #81 - Designer Series Paper

This week's challenge was to create a project using any Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper.



At my last stamp camp in December, we did a few birthday cards and I never posted them here, so this was fortunately ready for this week. I love it when a plan comes together.

I started with a card base of Old Olive and layered it with Pink Pirouette. The center panels are Old Olive, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White and Bella Rose Designer Series Paper. The DSP is folded using the Pleated Paper technique. I edged the folds and edges with Pretty in Pink ink and added the Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon.

The medallion embellishment is stamped with the Bella's Bloom stamp set. I colored directly on the stamp with Pretty in Pink and Old Olive markers then stamped it on Whisper White cardstock. The circles were punched out with the 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" Circle punches. They were layered and popped up on dimensionals over the knot in the ribbon. The greeting is stamped in Regal Rose and is from the On Your Birthday stamp set.

My card is actually a CASE of this card here. At last year's convention, I received a swap from my friend Lisa Somerville. I've wanted to case it ever since and this was the perfect opportunity. I'm not sure she had ever posted her original card to her blog, but I wanted you to see it because it surely is a beauty! Lisa's blog is HERE if you have time to take a
look. She is our Blogger's Challenge Mom and does fabulous work!

Have a wonderful weekend! I fly from Leadership here in Orlando Florida tonight to Lowell, Mass. Emma has a skating competition there this weekend and I am meeting her and my DH there so I can see her team skate! Go National Blades!
