CCEE Stampers Challenge 1323 - Direct to Paper


Brenda (Benzi) from our CCEE Design Team is our wonderful hostess this month.  For today's challenge, Brenda has asked us to use the direct to paper technique.  I am also sneak peeking a new image from Mark's Finest Papers from a set called Be Proud.  This was a fun technique and I tried a couple of things before I settled on this particular card - not sure I'm crazy about it - but, as they say, "it is what it is."  Why not join us and drop your card into Inlinkz for all to enjoy.  If you are joining from a gallery, be sure to reference the challenge number 1323.

Stamp:  Be Proud by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.
Paper:  MFP White Heavy Premium 140 lb. CS; MFP Cherry Slush CS; SU Midnight Muse CS
