Today’s card has a surprise: it’s created with a very unusual designer series paper! Can you guess which paper it is? Here’s a hint: the color combination is gorgeous!
Surprisingly, the designer series paper used here is the Dinoroar dsp. There are dinosaurs one one side of this paper 🙂 but the back side is a wonderful mix of leaves and berries ~ so nice for a holiday card!Â
Â
Â
The Lovely Lipstick card base is topped with two 3-3/4″ x 5″ pieces of paper set at angles. One piece is Old Olive card stock, and the other is Dinoroar Designer Series Paper.
Â
A Shimmery White Stitched Label Die was was watercolored with Lovely Lipstick ink and an Aqua Painter.This makes a nice background for the sentiment and a few leaves. Behind the label some Lovely Lipstick Grosgrain Ribbon was folded back and forth and adhered to the back of the label with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A piece of Vellum was cut using the Layering Circles Dies and tucked behind the label.
The front of the label was topped with the “comfort & joy” sentiment from the Cups of Christmas stamp set! The stamp was heat embossed in Whisper White embossing powder and then fussy cut with Paper Snips. A few leaves were cut using the Christmas Cardinal Dies.
