Hello and welcome. I am so pleased that you have decided to pop by and see my latest project.

This week’s Global Design Project is a Colour Challenge.

For this project I decided to use the Night of Navy Pastel from the new Soft Pastels Assortment to colour some Embossing Paste. I used the spatula end of the Take Your Pick tool to scrape some of the pastel to make a powder.

The resulting colour was lighter than Night of Navy but still a lovely shade of blue.

The paste was then applied to a piece of Shimmery White cardstock using one of the Plenty of Patterns Decorative Masks.

The blue and white panel was cut into three strips and adhered to the front of the Polished Pink card base. The two white strips were trimmed to fit neatly into the space between the blue/white panels. The greeting was stamed on the bottom white strip. The top white strip was given texture using one of the Greenery Embossing Folders. Both of these strips were added using STampin’ Dimensionals.

This mask coordinates with the In Symmetry Stamp Set. I stamped the large flower, in Polished Pink, twice before fussy cutting it and creating a full flower. THe leaves were stamped in Coastal Cabana and cut by hand. Once the flower was assembled, I cut a length of Open Weave Ribbon in half and attached loops of the ribbon on the back.

The flower was attached to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I applied Clear Wink of Stella to the outer section of the petals for some added bling.

If you’ve read my posts in the past, you will know the next comment – I stamped the floral image on the card insert and envelope. Predictable, I know.

And, of course – the fnal step was to add some of the returning Wonderful Gems to the card front.

Hmm – not bad. I’m particularly happy with how this card turned out.

What do you think?

Happy stamping.
