Designer Paper Help Again

[btrechak]

Can anyone give me some advice on how to use my designer paper? I love my paper but I have no idea on how to pick the right paper for a card. I look at my paper and admire it but then I think how do I use this beautiful paper and what card stock and other things should I use with it. I would be very grateful for any help on this topic.

Thank you,
Barbara

I choose my cardstock and ink colors right from the paper. If you look at card sketches (such as the sketch challenge on Wednesdays), they often have larger areas that are perfect for designer paper. You could also try searching the gallery for the particular paper that you have to get ideas.

When I want to use mine, I usually start with picking the designer paper I want to use, then I build my colors around it. A lot of times, I use mine when I want to make a simple card, since it is so pretty all on its own, you don't have to do a whole lot when you are using it to make a nice card. That is just one suggestion, I am sure you will get tons more : )

Here are two of my cards that I use with DSP
