PRIZED PEONY COLOR YOUR DSP!

Hi, Friends,
Today, I have another project for you using the Peony Garden Suite projects.  This one uses the simple technique of coloring your DSP.  It is amazing how much different the DSP looks when you use your markers and color all or part of the DSP!  I used this DSP and colored in the flowers and leaves with the Petal Pink Blends (light).

You can see the difference when you look at the strip of DSP at the bottom of the card:

6.  Color the DSP images using the Petal Pink (L) blends marker.

7.  Use sponge and Crumb Cake ink to lightly sponge the front of the card base, the Petal Pink cardstock, Whisper White embossed cardstock, and the colored DSP.

8.  Adhere DSP (colored with markers) to the bottom of the embossed Whisper White cardstock.  Adhere panel to Petal Pink cardstock.  Adhere Braided Linen Trim to seam.  Adhere panel to front of card base.

9.  Stamp sentiment using Crumb Cake ink onto scrap of Whisper White cardstock.  Cut out using Hippo and Friends Dies and Big Shot.  Lightly sponge die cut using Crumb Cake ink and a sponge.

10.  Use Hippo and Friends Dies and Big Shot to cut out Crumb Cake die cut.  Lightly sponge die using Crumb Cake ink and sponge.
