Hey Everyone

I managed to play along with a challenge this weekend. I couldn’t get in my craft room on Saturday as it was super hot in my room. It got to 40 degrees and my room was stinking hot! This weeks challenge at Global Design Project is a CASE The Designer Challenge. This gorgeous card of Connie’s was the card we got to CASE.

The card I created features the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set and Sunflower Dies. I was watching a FB live from my super crafty friend Angela on Friday when I saw her using the Gilded Leafing. I decided to challenge myself to using this messy stuff for the first time. For my first time using it, I decided to use is sparingly on the diecut sunflower in the background. It’s a wee bit messy especially when you have a desk fan going….might re-think the fan on my next try.

The flowers have been coloured with all my yellow blends. The centre of the flowers were coloured with the Smoky Slate Blends.

The leaves were coloured with my Granny Apple Green Blends and fussy cut out. Green Apple Green Cardstock was used for the leafy diecuts.

To add a little interest beneath the sentiment, I used a label punch and raised it up with Dimensionals.

The background was shaded with Balmy Blue Ink and a Blending Brush. I then took the Dark Smoky Slate Blend and flicked ink on to the shaded background.

Finally I added a bow and three Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
