Global Design Project #377

Hey Everyone

There’s a new colour challenge over at Global Design Project. Take a look at their fab colour combo:

This combo is one I’ve never tried before. Some of the papers from the Dandy Designs DSP work perfectly for this challenge as they have both Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green in them. I’ve layered two together at angles to the base of my card.

I then kinda threw lots of bits and pieces to the centre in a combination of the colours from the challenge.

I have added diecut shapes made with the Stylish Shapes Dies and added a leafy diecut cut with the Forever Flourishing Dies.

For my images, I had a owl from the Adorably Owls Stamp Set sitting on my desk, so I quickly coloured it in with my yellow watercolour pencil, Water Painter and fussy cut it out. I also had some stamped flowery images that I had discarded from another project just sitting there. I coloured them up with So Saffron and Granny Apple Green Blends and fussy cut them out.

I then set about layering and added a sentiment from a retired set called Sweet As A Peach. After scrunching up the corners of my cardstock, I decided the card was finished.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Freshly Made Sketches #568

Hey Everyone

Welcome to another Wednesday and another sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch has been designed by the wonderfully talented Judy Rozema.

I do have 3 squares under my layers, but you can’t quite see them with how I’ve arranged all my leaves and flowers!

The flowers and leafy images are from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set. The flower petals have been stamped in Crushed Curry and Gorgeous Grape Inks. The centre of the flowers have been inked up with So Saffron Ink. The stems and leaf images were stamped with Granny Apple Green and cut out with the matching die from the Sending Dies.

The Basic White Cardstock behind the flowers was shaded with Balmy Blue Ink and a Blending Brush. On this piece of cardstock, I added the 3 diecut DSP squares cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. The DSP pack I’ve cut the squares from is my fav atm – it called Dandy Design Designer Series Paper pack.

The diecut sentiment has also been cut with the Sending Dies and I’ve paired this with an inked sentiment from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set. One Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dot adorns my card.

The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created awesome cards using Judy’s sketch. Make sure you pop over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
