Kaleidoscope Cards

I had a couple of pieces of ultra-cheery Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper that I've been eager to use, and these six cards are what transpired. I think they're pretty self-explanatory except for one thing: On all but one of the cards, I used Crystal Effects to "pop out" part of the DSP design, usually circles. You can see a little bit of the reflection of the dried CEs in the photos.

If you have any questions about these fun cards, leave a comment and I'll post an answer for you!

Great cards. I got this paper out of curiosity, not my normal colors or patterns - and I love it. Your cards really balance all the components.

I love the cards!! Is the paper SU? They are all so cute. I'll be leaving here Tuesday and be home on Wednesday afternoon some time. Can't wait to get back to my groups! Let Pam Frost know I'm thinking of her. My messages to the group are being returned. I'll let everyone know when I get back!
