GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT #309

Hello and welcome! Thanks for popping by to see my #GDP309 project.

This week’s Global Design Project is a colour challenge – black, white and any other colour.

For me that has to be black, white and Real Red. If you look in my wardrobe you will see lots of these colours in there.

For this colour combination I knew that I wanted to use the Painted Poppies Stamp Set and coordinating Poppy Moments Dies.

I stamped the poppies onto a piece of Shimmert White cardstock so that I could water colour the flowers. Then I cut this down into three pieces measuring 3-1/2″x 1-1/2″. I cut two Real Red scalloped trims using the Painter LAbels Dies. These were secured under the top and bottom stamped pieces. They stamped strips were glued onto a piece of black and white striped paper from the Beautiflly Penned 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper.

I cut the large poppy shape and coordinating stamen and attached them to the card front.

The birthday greeting is from the Pansy Patch Stamp Set.

The small poppy image was stamped on the card insert and envelope. I painted the centre of the stamped poppies with some Clear Wink of Stella to add some glimmer. The card was then finished with some Matte Black Dots.

I am very pleased with my red, white and black card for the #GDP309 challenge.

Until next time, happy stamping.

MOTHER’S DAY

Hello and welcome! I am so pleased that you have popped by today.

It is Wednesday afternoon and that means that it’s time for a Freshly Brewed Project blog hop. This week’s theme is Mother’s Day.

I decided to feature the Pansy Petals Suite for this project.

The Pansy Petals 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper uses all the new 2021 – 2023 In Colours – Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. This meant that I could use the 2021 – 2023 In Colour Jewels as well! And, the ribbon.

The Pansy Dies petals cut and emboss so once the flowers are assembled they have a lovely texture. After I had cut the petals, I used a Blending Brush to add colour to the flower centres.

I made a slimline card so that I could accommodate three pansies, as well as the Mother’s Day greeting.

The Pansy Patch Stamp Set has two pansy, two step stamps. I stamped the larger one inside the card.

With Mother’s Day just a few days away, are you ready? Do you have a card ready for your mother?

Make sure that you pop by the other Freshly Brewed Projects.

Happy stamping.
