A Bohemian Birthday Card

 Can you believe the Annual Catalogue 2015-2016 is now LIVE!! YAY!  Today is the day you can order from all 3 catalogues, plus the clearance rack (now updated) & the weekly deals.  It is like a SUPER DUPER sale day, but make sure you have everything you are wanting from the Occasions catty as that is ending today too!

Here I am again sharing another of my Bohemian DSP Birthday cards.   This time I used the shimmery white card stock to watercolour the flower from You've Got This stamp set.  I didn't realise at the time that the blender pen I was using had shimmer paint on it, so the flower is very sparkly! Not that you can see it in the photo though.

I used Rich Razzleberry & a base of Bermuda Bay to tone down the DSP once again.  The new lace in Delightful Dijon adds a soft touch.

You will see lots of cards using this stamp set, it is such a pretty flower don't you think?

Painted Blooms 50th Birthday Card & A Sneak Peek Version too!

I almost forgot to share this card I made for a friends birthday in April.  Can you believe it was a whole month ago!  I was waiting for the recipient to get her card before I shared it with the whole world, then I completely forgot all about it in the excitement of Convention.   I took a quick photo before I gave it to her, but unfortunately the photo isn't that good.  You will get the idea though.


Here is Leanne's card:

Happy 50th Leanne!

I used Rose Red which isn't a colour I use very much, but it looks lovely with the Painted Blooms DSP & Soft Sky don't you think? 

Ok so as I was loading this up onto the blog, I decided I needed to make a "NEW" version of this card.  Whilst at convention we were given a pack of the Bohemian DSP.  I am NOT a fan of purple so this one was my least favourite gifts.  I was stumped as to how I was going to use this paper.  When I got home I preordered the in colours & my least favourite colour was Delightful Dijon.  To me it was far from delightful!  But, after challenging myself to use both this DSP & the non delightful dijon I actually quite like them both now!   I think that YES they are rather strong bold colours, but when used correctly you can get a soft effect. 
I am not kidding you this DSP is bright! 

My recreated version in Bohemian DSP:

You know I am starting to like this Dijon Colour!  I have made a few more cards using this DSP which I will share soon.    Which version do you prefer?  Old or new?
