Workshop Wow Wednesday

When I started out on this card I had every intention to showcase water stamping.  But alas, I didn't follow the directions correctly and it didn't work! haha So instead, my workshop wow for the day is making your own designer paper. There are so many different ways to do it, but I will show you how I made mine!  I started by drawing color inspiration from Stampin' Celebration Inspiration and the sketch from Try Stampin' On Tuesday.


For my DSP background, I started with a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. I sponged Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red all over it and then Soft Suede on the outside edges.  I then stamped my leaf, acorn and helicopter images in various colors.  I wanted my DSP to shine so I sponged some Illuminate ink over the top of the leaves. Easy peasy!
My sentiment is kind of hard to read but it says "One who finds a faithful friend finds a treasure." It is from World Treasure. I hardly ever use this stamp set, but saw this sentiment and thought it was so nice.  I liked the swirlies that were framing it for something extra, too. :) I'm going to give this card to my dear best friend Steph, who is SUCH a loving and faithful friend to me. I love you, Stephie!
