At our Candy Hearts team meeting in May, I received some great swap cards. Today I’m sharing one that was made by Susan Ballentine. She used the new Share What You Love Designer Series Paper along with some great products that carried over to the new catalog to make this great card in shades of green. I love all the “white space” on this card, with all the decor concentrated at the bottom right. It has an asymmetrical but balanced look.
Here’s what she made:

Today I’m sharing another note card made with the Big Wishes stamp set. This one uses the Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper (DSP.) This is also an example showing that you don’t have to use card stock in colors from the DSP to “match” it. Fresh Fig is in this DSP, but Highland Heather isn’t, and it “goes” with it just fine. See what different color combos you can come up with using your DSPs.
Here’s what I made:
