Diagonal Joy Fold with Charming Floral DSP

When I open a new pack of printed Designer Series Paper (DSP), there typically is one or two of the designs that I immediately love. And this paper pack was no exception, and the print I used for this card was my fave!

I used a background card base of Blackberry Bliss that measures 5.5 x 8.5” and the angle is cut from one corner to the center fold. Here’s a look at the open card:

The front of the mini card is also the main focal of the card. I attached a panel of the beautiful DSP. The sentiment was embellished with a die cut from the retired Dainty Delight Bundle as it matched so perfectly with one of the wispy flowers in the DSP:
