While I'm not exactly a hoarder (who am I kidding?) I seem to have amassed quite a bit of Designer Series Paper (Stampin' Up! term)/Patterned Paper.  I love them all, but I have a little trouble using them correctly...primarily because I can't stand to cover it up and second because I find that most all of my card projects to date include some form of coloring (Hurray for Copics!) !  So, for the month of July, the challenge to myself to keep my cards simple, yet elegant using DSP/patterned paper in all of my designs.  This card is the first card resulting from this challenge.  Do you use your DSP or do you hoard it? Here are the supplies used to make this card: Product List Thankful Thoughts Clear-Mount Stamp Set [ 141522 ] Metallic Foil Doilies [ 138392 ] Tranquil Tide Classic Stampin' Pad [ 144085 ] Tranquil Tide 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [ 144246 ] 2017-2019 In Color Bitty Bows [ 144217 ]
