Who Needs Design Paper?

I made a card without using design paper. It was a challenge for me but I had fun with it. A little Cuttlebug, a little embossing powder - and hey who needs a designer?!






Cheery Cherries
~Base card - Gina K Designs Pure White
~Layer of red cardstock stamped with Stampin' Up Perfect Plaid using Versamark and Ranger Black embossing powder and a small flower image stamped using Versamark and Ranger Seafoam White embossing powder
~Layer of white cardstock with the edges smudged with black and run through the Cuttlebug and the Swiss Dots embossing folder
~Three metal red brads
~Layer of black glossy cardstock with layer of red/white dot ribbon
~Digital image (freebie by Melon Headz) printed on Cryogen White and colored with Copics; Stickles red dots on dish, dish topped with Inkssentials Crackle Accents; cherry paper-cut and topped with Inkssentials Glossy Accents
~Side cherries stamped and colored with Copics and highlighted with Inkssentials Glossy Accents
