Same Technique for Another "Look" with the Elegant Designer Paper
June 17, 2021
Today we'll use the Same Technique for Another 'Look' with the Elegant Designer Paper. Tuesday we used color on color for our "designer" paper ---if you missed it check it out here..https://www.sandilovesstamping.com/2021/06/did-you-see-the-other-elegant-designer-paper.html
Today we're using color on white--same technique....but this gives you quite a different feel---this one is a bit brighter & crisper.
I also added a bit of additional color to the central image using the Freesia Dark Blend marker & a touch of Wink of Stella--this focuses the eye on the card center. Adding a quick cute tag with the new Elegant Trim creates an eye-catching focal point. Here's a closer look...
Essentially you can create any designer paper needed using any color ink plus white cardstock. Adding that coordinating layer of matching color defines the top layer but isn't absolutely necessary.
I'll give you step by step instructions followed by the supply list so you can purchase your supplies.
