Blue Florals #GDP132

Hi Everybody,

Its time to Case the Designer at the Global Design Project this week.

The beautiful inspiration card is from Stesha Bloodhart.

You can see what the design team created here!

This is my design.

I have kept the floral thank you theme and the colour combination.

Pedal Palette has been substituted for the Flower Shop stamp set. The flowers have been stamped with Memento ink and coloured with Pool Party Stampin’ Blends. These were cut with the coordinating Pansy Punch.

The floral element from the Wood Words stamp set were added to the the lower left corner of a Whisper White card layer using Daffodil Delight ink.

The blue flowers were added with glue dots.

The sentiment is from the All Things Thanks stamp set. This was but with the Pretty Label punch and adhered with dimensionals.

The white was finally attached to a Whisper White card base. Pearls coloured with Stampin’ Blend marker were added to complete the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Without a Little Rain

Hi there Everyone,

With all the rain we have had recently, I thought this was just the card for today.

This is very simply made by die cutting the rainbow bands from coloured card stock.

I used Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Tempting Turquoise, Rose Red and Elegant Eggplant.

Three clouds were die cut from Whisper White card stock.

I decided to use one of these to stage the sentiment.

Using Smoky Slate card stock as the base really made the colours in the rainbow pop.

A few raindrops stamped at the top completed the design.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below. If you live in the UK, France, Germany, Austria or The Netherlands, I would love to have your business.

Foil & Feathers – Just Add Ink #402

Hello Everyone,

I am joining the Just Add Ink Challenge again this week. The theme is:

To see what the design team created, click here!

This is my project. I chose foil and feathers!

I went all in with the card base and used a piece of the Foil Frenzy collection. I love this Soft Sky foiling.

The little budgies are from the Bird Banter stamp set. They were stamped on Very Vanilla card stock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers.

I used a Stitched Circle framelit to cut the image. This was adhered flat towards the left edge of the card front.

The sentiment is added simply using a small banner, which I layered with some Soft Sky card stock to complement the foil.

Finally, three “feathers” were stamped and cut from Soft Sky card stock. These are actually the little stylised leaves from the Daisy Delight stamp set!

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.
