QUESTIONS: I have a hard time matching up cardstock with Design Series Paper, do you have any suggestions?
ANSWER: Oh yes, that is one of the reasons I love DSP! DSP takes the hard work out of picking colors. If you look under the name of the DSP, there is a list of all the colors that are used in that DSP.
My recommendation: When I am using DSP in a project, here are the steps I tend to follow.
- First, I pull out ALL the colors that are listed for that DSP.
- Second, I figure out what stamp set I’m going to use (if I have not already made that decision).
- Third, I think about what type of project I am going to do.
- Forth, I choose the sheet of DSP that I want to use for my project.
- Fifth, looking at the sheet of DSP that I want to work with, I will pick two or three colors that will go well with the project that I am doing.
Sometimes, you just have to play around with it to get the right color combination…all the way around…the stamp set, the project, the DSP.
