CTC 415: Favourite Retiring DSP

 Hi!

Thanks for joining me for the new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. It's been a while since I've been able to play, so it's great to be back!

This week we are asking you to CASE a project made sing your favourite DSP from either of the current catalogues. There's so many great packs, that it's hard to narrow it down!

I have to say though, that my favourite DSP is the Lovely Linen pack. I love the mix of floral and geometric patterns. They reminded me a lot of tiles or patchwork quilts. I chose this card from page 24 to CASE, as I loved the strips of DSP all higgledy-piggledy in the background. It's a fabulous way to use a lot of different papers from the pack.

While the catalogue sample leant towards the Sweet Sorbet and Night Of Navy papers, I went for the Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent colour ways. I also changed the card to be portrait layout, and only used a single die cut shape over the top, rather than a row of punched shapes. It was a little simpler and cleaner for my tastes.

The DSP strips are 3.5" by 1", and I adhered them to a piece of Whisper White cardstock before popping the whole lot up on the Navy card base. Adding the extra layer underneath gives a bit more stability to the design.

One last strip of DSP was put to use on the inside of the card, along with my retiring favourite stamp set, Simply Fabulous. I will miss both the DSP and the stamp set!

We'd love to know what your favourite retiring DSP is. To play along with us, just CASE a card from the catalogue that uses the DSP and add a photo to our Facebook Group before next Sunday's blog hop. It's that easy!

My lovely friend, Rachel Palmieri is up next in our DSP Blog Hop. I think that I would have successfully guessed which DSP she'd used if I'd been put to the test. You won't want to miss her gorgeous card.

Bye for now,

Tina
