I am continuing with the Softly Stippled DSP today. You can the first card using the Softly Stippled DSP HERE. I have two versions of today’s card, which actually uses very little of the Softly Stippled DSP but does highlight the Stippled Roses bundle with coordinates perfectly with the Softly Stippled DSP. Both cards are the exact same layout – one is for a beginner crafter with the other for a more avid crafter.

Measurements

• 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ Crumb Cake Cardstock (scored in half at 4-1/4″)
• 4″ x 5-1/4″ Very Vanilla Cardstock (dry embossed)
• 2″ x 5″ Softly Stippled DSP
• 3-1/2″ x 5″ Very Vanilla Cardstock (to die cut scallop)
• 1-3/4″ x 1″ Very Vanilla Cardstock (to die cut rectangle)

I did use a blending brush to pick up Crumb Cake Ink and brush over the Exposed Brick texture, the scallop shape and the rectangle). I used Pool Party and Mossy Meadow blends to color in the focal point.

Measurements

• 4″ x 5-1/4″ Very Vanilla Cardstock (dry embossed)
• 2″ x 5″ Softly Stippled DSP
• 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ Very Vanilla Cardstock (to die cut image)
• 3-1/2″ x 5″ Very Vanilla Cardstock (to die cut scallop)
• 1-3/4″ x 1″ Very Vanilla Cardstock (to die cut rectangle)

For this version, I stepped the card up just a bit by doing two additional steps. The first step is to stamp the image in Memento Ink. My tip is to die cut the image before coloring! You don’t want the die to shift and ruin everything you just did. After I colored the image, I added a bit of Wink of Stella in the shaded or dark areas of the image. I also lightly added Crumb Cake ink around the edges of the die cut image just to soften it up a bit.
