Sale-A-Bration Spotlight – Softly Stippled 12″ x 12″ DSP
This week I am going to highlight the Softly Stippled 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. This was a bit challenging because I wanted to highlight the paper on this project. So, I started with the two sides that I just didn’t like. I know right, basing a project around a product you don’t like. Well, that’s what I needed to do to get my mojo going.
The Softly Stippled DSP coordinates perfectly with the Stippled Roses bundle. Remember that with a minimum $50 order (prior to shipping and tax) you can qualify for a FREE Sale-A-Bration item and guess what? Softly Stippled DSP is a $50 level FREE SAB item!
I created two cards with the same layout. Both cards are pretty clean and simple and a great layout to use to mass produce cards. Here’s my tip – I knew that the DSP was pretty loud or just not really please to the eye in my humble opinion (I know I am sure someone out there likes these prints!). So I used a piece of Vellum to really soften the look of the paper!
My first card is a simple congratulations card using a piece of the DSP that I just wasn’t sure about. I don’t know if it’s the pattern or the color combination of Calypso Coral, Wild Wheat and Pebbled Path.

My second card is the exactly same layout and using the same coordinating products – just stepped up a bit.

I stamped the small rose in Memento Ink and die cut it out. I then colored the image with Lost Lagoon and Old Olive Blends. Here’s my tip when coloring die cut pieces. I **ALWAYS** stamp the image and die it out first before coloring! I don’t know how many times, I have colored the image and then went to die cut it the die shifted and ruined everything I had just done.
