"I challenge you to make a card without using any designer/decorative paper (including any you stamp on your own). Yep, that's right... only cardstock! But you can dry emboss the cardstock layers and use whatever embellishments you want. It's sort of the old-fashioned way of card-making!"
No designer paper???!!! Only cardstock????!!!! WOW!!!!
I thought it would be super hard, but somehow I had managed ;-) Thank goodness for Cuttlebug embossing folders!!!! I am actually VERY HAPPY with this card!! I think Lotus is just so lovely, she looks so beautiful in these colors!!

This card measures 6" x 6".
Cuttlebug Swiss Dots and Birds and Swirls embossing folders. Martha Steward punch-around-a-page punch. I made the flower with two different flowers, button in the center and the twine bow. The leafs for the flower were cut from the same ribbon that Lotus is sitting on.. Lotus was colored with Copics, cut out and popped onto the card for dimension.
Now, go see what La-La Land Crafts Design team came up for this great "No DP Challenge", here is the link to the blog. Maybe you can play with us this week? There is even a prize for grabs!!
