Trying My Hand at DSP.....one sided!!

 Hello everyone: I pray that you and your families are healthy and safe, don't underestimate this Pandemic, please wear your masks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some of my card making friends know that, as much as I like pattern paper, I don't use it often, and when I do use it, it has to be one-sided.  I've seen gorgeous, adorable, colorful DSP out there but I just can't bring myself to have to choose which side I put under, I just can't.  So I rely on some really beautiful paper from my local craft store, I usually buy from a company called "The Paper Studio", and, if the 12"x12" sheets are 4 for $1.00, I stock up.

Here's a simple card using some of this paper.


********************************************************
This is the INSIDE.


This is what I used.

Power Poppy "Simply Camellias" (2015)
Flourishes "Gerbera Daisies" for the inside sentiment and butterfly (2009)
Stampin' Up! markers.
Stampin' Up! "Quilt Top" embossing folder.

I'm playing with the following challenges.


Anything Goes.

Thank you for visiting me today.
Stay healthy and safe and please don't forget to use your masks.
Hugs,
Maria.

I used Kraft card stock, bright colors and brads.
