You are not going to believe how the colors were selected for this card!  When I saw the digital downloads for today, I immediately bought the Flores Suaves Stamp Brush Set.  I have been wanting this set for a while but somehow never go around to buying it.  

Anyhoo - I was playing around with it in My Digital Studio (reducing it until it was the right size).  I then reduced the opacity to 40% (lighten the background) and printed it out.  Well, since I need to replace my black cartridge it printed the background out in light blue.  I matched up the light blue with our card stock and what cordinated was Island Indigo.  And from there, I was able to select the DSP.  I don't need no stinkin' color coach! (LOL)

Thanks for stopping by today

Supplies:

• Paper:  Whisper White Card Stock (100730), Island Indigo Card Stock (122923), Timeless Portrait Designer Series Paper (122352)
