DSP Crazy!

This card was a personal challenge - to use as much

dsp as I could handle.  My daughter said I went a little

DSP crazy.

I was inspired by a very talented

lady from StampNation. Her name is Allison Cope and she is the 

owner of Your Memories.  She's talented at all styles of

card making, but when I think of her cards I think of layers,

patterns and flowers. 

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of white embossing on black

card stock used for the sentiment and I always love the

way it looks so I thought I'd give it a try and I LOVE IT!

I'll definitely be doing more of that.

The green 'water color' background piece is a technique

I've been having a lot of fun with lately. You're sure to see 

it show up on lots of my cards. To see how to do this
