Hello and thank you being here. I am so pleased that you are popping by to see what my latest project is.
As I mentioned recently, my new Sunday posts will be a project from the Global Design Project’s weekly challenges.
Global Design Project #285 is a colour challenge. The colours are So Saffron, Seaside Spray and Sahara Sand. Well, it wasn’t until after I finished my project I realised that I used Soft Sea Foam instead of Seaside Spray – I wrote down the colours incorrectly. I wish that I had looked at all the samples and I may have autocorrected myself when I started blending the soft green. Anyway, I won’t be adding it to the challenge but still like the end result.
I made two projects – a card and a gift box.
The Sahara Sand card base has an embossed layer adhered to the front. I used the Dandelions 3D Embossing Folder to add texture that coordinates with the stamp set and dies that I chose.
The next step was to use Blending Brushes to colour a piece of the Dandy Laser Cut Paper. The blended the So Saffron front the top down and the Soft Sea Foam from the bottom up. Then I stamped the dandelion image, from the Garden Wishes Stamp Set, in Sahara Sand onto the same coloured card stock. Using Saddle Brown StazOn ink I stamped the same image onto white vellum. After the images were cut using the Dandy Wishes Dies, I coloured the card stock piece using the Blending Brushes again.
The vellum piece was adhered to the laser cut piece. Then I cut four lengths of Linen Thread and threaded it through the sides and tied it at the front. Then I used Stampin’ Dimensionals behind the other dandelion die cut and popped it over the linen thread.
I stamped the greeting and then cut it using one of the, soon to be retired, Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I cut it a second time making it thinner.
The last touch was to add a few Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.
Then I made a gift box using one of the Love You Always Treat Boxes. I covered it with some Soft Sea Foam 6″x 6″ DSP from the Subtles collection. I used one of the Dandy Laser Cut Paper round shapes and coloured it with my So Saffron Blending Brush, before adhering it to the top of the box. Then I cut lots of dandelions and overlaid them on top of each other and held them in place using Mini Glue Dots. Before securing it over the So Saffrom circle, I tied some Linen Thread just below the head of the dandelion.
Well, I made not have finished with a project to add to the #GDP285, but I do have a card and matching gift box that I am really happy with. Here’s hoping that I get it right next week.
Keeping it real – happy stamping.
