Mosaic Madness and Quatrefancy Paper from Stampin’ Up!

Playing with Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper makes card making a breeze!  I pulled out the beautiful Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper and just let that be my guide.  All the mosaic shapes are in the same direction even though they are from different mediums.  The colors for the card came from the bottom left layer of paper.

Color is an important factor when making a card.  If you're not sure what to mix together Stampin' Up! papers can help you out.  Another great color helper is our Color Coach.  I took a look at that just to see what I might pair for the card once I chose Strawberry Slush for the base of the pieces of the card.  The Color Coach had beautiful combinations, but nothing that worked with the colorful paper.  What did I do?  Back to the original source: that piece of paper in the lower left.  I figured since I used an Island Indigo Button, Island Indigo Baker's Twine I should also use that as the card.

You can see just a little Whisper White Card Stock peeking out from the inside of the card.  I find this a nice touch when using a darker color for the base of your card.  Now this is all ready to write inside and and send to someone special!

I was cleaning up my stamping space yesterday and realized that posting as often as I do has created a LARGE collection of cards.  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think I should do with them – sell them, donate them, send to friends and family?
