To begin, I look at the focal point of the sketch

Next I like to select a Designer paper and then pull out the coordinating colors that go with the Designer paper. One of the advantages to using Stmapin’ Up! products. All the designer papers coordinate with Stampin’ Up!’s 50 exclusive colors.
In this case, I choose the color of Strawberry Slush and the coordinating DSP stack. I also choose the All Abloom DSP stack which has Strawberry Slush papers also. The focal image of the tulips is stamped using Black Staz-on ink and colored with a blender pen and the inks.

After I finished the card, I realized that I wanted to try again but bring in another coordinating piece of DSP from the All Abloom DSP stack for the middle strip of the background piece.

For more information on this card check out the video that I recorded HERE.
Which card do you like better?

This is so pretty….love the colors and patterns!
