In the catalogue, there are quite a few new Designer Papers. Some I wasn't to sure of including this one called "Thoroughly Modern". Then I started to see some projects done with it and also actually saw the paper in real life and I decided that I loved it!The main colours in the Paper series are : Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede, Rose Red and Sahara Sand.
The first card is one I recently did at a workshop and everyone loved it!
Now the theme of this post is that each card used the Thoroughly Modern paper. So you might be asking where the paper is on this one. Well, behind the stamped vellum is a piece of the DSP that also has daisies on it and it matches really well. I kept this to a two colour palette of Bermuda Bay and Soft Suede and we stampe the floral image from Fifth Avenue Floral using Craft White ink. The had part when stamping on vellum is hiding how you attached it to your backing paper. For this card I placed glue dots behind the centers of my flowers and that hid them. It's a very simple and elegant looking card.
This second card also used the Thoroughly Modern DSP, but only a small strip on the side as an accent.
The medallion stamp which is another favourite, was stamped with versamark and I used the Stampin' Pastels to colour it in. I love this effect, it gives it a nice soft look with a dreamy quality.
Sometimes layering different coloured card stock or DSP's can be all your card needs to jazz it up. I find that this card is just a little more vibrant but still elegant.
