Paisley Petals DSP Purge

Another attempt to get rid of my retired DSP.  This post’s pack comes from a few years back.  I don’t remember how old Paisley Petals is, but I do know that it’s been sitting in my DSP box for at least a year.  After making the cards featured, I had a few scraps and some full sheets leftover.  I ended up putting the full sheets up for grabs to other crafting friends.  They kindly took them away from me.  One more pack down.

Card #1

Card Inspiration from Stampin Sunshine

My version

Loved the inspiration card.  My version turned out okay, but not the best.  I really need different layered framelits.  I’m getting a bit sick of using my labels.
