Designer Paper

I guess many of us who have gravitated to the CAS style of card making have stacks of Designer Paper sitting languishing in drawers and boxes. It is possible to use it in a clean and simple style and that's what we're looking for at "Less is More" this week.

Here I used some paper from Pink Petticoat together with dies from Poppy stamps to make this inlaid die cut card. I must confess that some of the pieces were really fiddly to insert, but luckily none pinged into oblivion before being inserted. The Hobby Art sentiment was stamped in SU Smoky Slate ink to match the paper and die cut with a stitched rectangle from Simon Says Stamp, elongated slightly to fit the sentiment.

Sorry for the dreadful picture, I'm having technology problems at the moment!

Of course when you do an inlaid die-cut, you get a positive and a negative, so here is another card using the negative from the previous one!

The sentiment is from Wplus9.

I have a few other cards part-made but time ran away from me... I may add some more later in the week.

I'm off to my nephew's wedding today. The evening part has a Cluedo theme, so my husband is going as Rev. Green with a borrowed shirt from a priest friend of ours and I shall be a geriatric Miss Scarlett!

There may be pictures later!!!
