This card is made with a DIY DP for today's Limited supply challenge.This card uses the same base piece as my other posting for this challenge here :LSC163 Leaves a la Carte by Kathy LeDonne at Splitcoaststampers uses, but I used a different image and ink to overstamp it with. I wanted a bit more casual feel with this card. Base of DP was sponged with River Rock ink and then wheeled with the Leaves a la Carte inked in Versamark. I created a ghost image by sponging this with Blue Bayou ink. Over this piece I stamped the small flower sprig stamp from Carte postal. I added small white dots with the White Signo Gel Pen. The DP on the top part of the card was a piece of Soft Sky and I stamped the bottom stem from one of the flowers from Oh So Lovely in Blue Bayou and Old Olive ink. I also added some white lines with my pen. The central flower image is a Cutltlebug die cut. The light green scalloped circle and layer are actually from a piece of DIY background paper that I had in my file. This was made from cleaning the ink off my brayer when I had used some Old Olive ink. I spray the brayer with water and then brayer onto Glossy CS. You can usually create a couple of pieces of background this way, each on successivly lighter in color. It creates some very interesting soft patterns on the paper. Edit: I popped up the scallop circle and added the faux brads,
