This is my 2nd entry for the Letter C Alphabet Challenge. The C in this card is the checked dsp and also the bright colors. This card is a big deal for me because I used DSP. Using dsp is infuriatingly hard for me for reasons that confuse even me. I use dsp as often as I fly (which has been 3 times in my entire life). I have a lot of dsp, but don't seem to know how to use it for anything other than making boxes with. So, I took a leap of faith and and I am not sure if I like it or not. I am so used to my clean and simple basic white cards so this seems too busy for me. But, it is adhered down so I can no longer change it. Ha! Thanks for loolking today. ~Karen.

This is really neat - I like the way you tucked the flowers under the frame - it gives it a different and unique look!

Creative and beautiful. Love the frame. The beautiful flowers look terrific gathered around one corner (C item). Your checker DSP looks wonderful. Glad to see you are using some of it. I've been working diligently on using up old paper and it's been fun. Your card is excellent. Love it! TFS
Oh, how beautiful this is!!! I think your DP is gorgeous. I have stacks and stacks of DP! I love the stuff but I struggle to get my coloring mediums to match up to the papers so.......often as not I don't use it and here it sits! Your card is beautiful! The yellow background is so cheerful and the flowers are gorgeous!
Great job using the DSP and going outside of your comfort zone. Love your flower arrangement - they are so pretty against that BG and the frame is perfect!

Haha sis I think you explained it better then I ever could!! Have you noticed that I’m pretty much like you. Rare usage of DSP as much as Des collects them and me sometimes. I too need to try using them more often . The ones I do use however is straps and leftovers handed down to me. Me and my orphans and rescues along with my recycles . I should probably call DSP recycling so I’d use them more often lol but like you I don’t seem to match them up very well as perfect as sis Kandie and the others. Haha I’m in your boat and I also fly only About 4 times in my whole life and I’m old!! Guess I’m your twin when it comes to DSP lol you know I love yellow but I got to confess I love my card you made similar to this
