My card for today's Way to use it challenge....to use designer paper. I used My Mind's Eye paper from the Stella & Rose collection. The Penny Black grasses image was stamped in Versamark and embossed in black. Then I used Ranger distress inks to colour the circle by rubbing the inks on my hard plastic sheet and spritzing with water and swiping the circle through it, letting dry and doing it one more time. I love the vibrant colours! This is also for the 'You can do it' challenge to look in our backyard for inspiration. A flower border that I am trying to grow back into a grassy lawn still has perennials in it, but also weeds and grasses, so that was my inspiration.

Nice paper! You did a great job matching those colors! I like the silhouette! Perfect way to get a focal point without taking away from the rest of the card!

What a pretty card. I love your image of grasses, and the way you, stamped over the various colors as the background. Your designer paper ,and the border punch, are the perfect choices, for the over all bg. This is a very pretty card. tfs.
