Delicate Delightfully Detailed DSP - now there's a tongue twister!!
It may be tricky to say, but so easy to make cards that have a WOW! factor.
It is delicate and the best way to cut this laser cut paper, I found was to snip out pieces that you could use in a variety of ways.
If the piece was too big for the project I would just snip the edges off. If I needed to cut the whole project down, it was best to turn it over and cut from the back with the trimmer.
The paper has two sides, white and vanilla so it works with different card bases and backgrounds.
It really pops when you put it on dark cardstock. How easy!! Cut out pieces (or use up leftovers) and add a sentiment - DONE!!
Adding colour behind.
For this one I laid down the piece I had across the card and lightly marked around the main features with a pencil.
I lifted off the lacey piece and then added colour with my sponge dauber to the areas marked. I would keep laying the piece on top to check it was in the right area, but it doesn't have to be perfect.
Once I had the areas I wanted, I went back and filled in the areas until it all merged together.
Add a sentiment, some Artisan pearls and you're done.
Water colour background
The new Blueberry Bushel ink colour made a great contrasting background for the white detailed DSP.
I washed the card with water, added the colour and let it spread and dry. I then added a strip of dotty In Colour DSP and then some leftover pieces of DSP thatI had. A sentiment and it's finished!
In one of my earlier posts I coloured the laser cut paper making the possibilities endless!!
