Technique Tuesday - Designer Series Paper / Stamping With Melva

Technique Tuesday - Designer Series Paper

Tuesday, 9 May 2023

It's time for another Technique Tuesday Blog Hop and I'm hopping with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. This month the theme is Designer Series Paper.

I used the adorable Designer Series Paper from the Zany Zoo Suite in the 2023-2024 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. It is so cute! I created the background layer using 1 piece of Designer Series Paper - cut in 2 strips and adhere together. This card was made on my weekly sketch challenge. Join me every Tuesday night at 6:30pm for my sketch.

Here's the sketch I used for this card.

Now check out this adorable card. Who doesn't love a llama knitting!
