Have you enjoyed the sneak peek at the Magical Meadow designer series paper that launched this week in Stampin’ Up!’s Holiday Mini catalog? These watercolor designs are beautiful. Today’s focal pattern from the paper pack is one of those sheets of designer paper that you almost hate to cut! But with just the right design, you can showcase those really stunning sheets of designer paper and not feel quite so guilty about cutting them up.
Because I wanted the designer paper to be the show-stopping focal point of this design, I chose a cardstock color that complimented the DSP but basically disappeared into the background of the design. Lost Lagoon was just the ticket to help this beautiful sheet of paper really stand out. I chose the peek-through fun fold design again because it allowed the greatest use of the sheet of paper but also added a lot of visual interest to the overall card design. The sentiment is heat embossed on vellum and mounted atop a complimentary-shaped Lost Lagoon mat. A few carefully placed shimmery gems and the ribbon add a touch of sparkle.
TIP: When you want to color match a heat embossed element but don’t have the exact color embossing powder, you can make your own. Surprised? Wondering how? Before you ink your stamp, apply a heavy layer of Versamark and then cover the stamp with your preferred ink color before stamping. Then coat with clear embossing powder before heat embossing. This allows your ink color to shine through as your embossing color. Voila! Color-matched!
