A trio
Posted: January 14, 2011 Filed under: CAS, Designer Paper 8 Comments
I have been wanting to make a few cards featuring designer paper as the main event rather than stamped images . I was inspired by Susan, Donelda and Karen who have all created some clever designs with patterned paper. The one above is a classic layout that I have seen done beautifully in many places.
In the second card I wanted to make the most of the lovely design on the paper without doing much to it; splitting the panel achieved the effect I was after. The card below started out on ivory with a portrait orientation but it suffered a nasty sentiment placement accident and underwent fairly drastic surgery before emerging as the card you see below. I have repeated the four circles inside the card but with halves instead of whole.
Thanks for dropping by today; I hope to be back soon with a card for the OLW challenge, which is right up my alley this week!
Supplies:
Stamps: Ageless Adornment, All Year Cheer, Fundamental Phrases
Inks: Artichoke
Cardstock: Mellow Moss, Le Jardin Designer paper, Flourishes Classic Ivory

I haven’t used this technique in quite a while, but once more you’ve given me the inspiration to try again!
These cards are truly beautiful!
Together with a friend, I will be starting a new challenge blog called ”Less is More”, a challenge blog for Clean & Simple cards. I really hope you’ll be able to join us!

I love what you have done with just the paper and a sentiment! You certainly inspire me!
My favorite kind of card….using DP as the focal point. I love how you have kept your designs CAS. TFS
Oh, these are all so pretty. These look like a clean and simple and fast card to make. Thank you for sharing.
Oh, my gosh! I love this. Thanks for a great inspiration. I have scraps and some beautiful DP I can do with this inspiration. THANKS
Heather, you’re inspiring me to break out the dp again. It’s been a while….
These are so lovely!

These are gorgeous! When you have beautiful paper, it’s nice to give it the chance to shine.
