I have a tutorial over on the ECD blog for an easy way to use your designer paper. I'm also posting it here as I'm not sure what the procedure is for tutorials with this company, plus I don't have a link until today, and I created this post a while ago.
Here is the end result:
Step one: Chose your Designer Paper. I used a few sheets from the newly release, Colorful Collective Paper Pad. Cut a 1" strip from each sheet, and start tearing the edges. [To get the “white” part, tear towards yourself.]
Step Two: Once all your strips are torn, adhere them on to your card base. [I used the Soft Finished Card Stock for my card base]
Step Three: Pick any stamp/die image that you want to use [I used the Everyday Elements, Beetles & Bugs Stamps with matching dies, and Picture Frames & Mats] and adhere those onto your card base.
If you are like me and physical coloring is a challenge, simply stamp your image on some (more) designer paper, and die cut the image out. Yet another use for designer paper!
Step Four: Add a sentiment. [I used a sentiment from Everyday Elements, Playful Sentiments.]
I do love this technique for using designer paper. I have a lot in my stash and plan on using this in the future. I hope you enjoyed my quick and easy tutorial, and give it a try yourself!
Thanks for stopping by~

The torn edges are terrific and add a nice layer of depth! Great card, Vicki!
Awesome, Vicki! Your torn strips add so much interest, this is definitely a great way to color block. The details are great too
Very cool card with an awesome background using those torn strips!
Beautifully done! I love the torn edges to the paper which creates the illusion of an additional layer with the white. Wonderful die cut frame and perfect diecut dragonfly!
