I made two slimline cards using up some dsp that I was gifted some time ago.

The plaid and the poinsettia patterns made me grab this magazine stamp that I’ve used many times to use as the focal point.
I decided for the first card to add two flowers underneath the sentiment that was a die cut and coloured them using the Derwent Inktense pencils.

I didn’t do a brilliant job of colouring because the paper wouldn’t stand up to lots of water but they blended enough for me to just go with the flow and use them!

I used the die cut from Tonic and added some layers of the cream to go with the card base.

The second card I coloured using promarkers. I don’t have a great selection of greens or reds so ended up with some interesting tones to the flower but again it worked well enough that I could use the image on the card.

This time I stamped the sentiment onto the cream and added a hand drawn border so the black line art was in keeping with the panel.
Happy crafting!
