I can be quite an extravagant person, but when it comes to cardstock, I don't like to buy much colored. Therefore I make my own, using white and direct to paper or a blending tool. I think it adds more depth of color. I also rarely just use dies but that's what I did today (ABC15U-you pick your own technique). I really like the TH layered dies, although they can be very fiddly and hard to use.

Jean, I've never thought of making my own cardstock, I've created my own dsp but never cardstock, what a great idea! Your dimensional diamonds are full of texture and beauty making this slim line a real eye catcher. Thanks for the inspiration!
