This week’s

This week’s Global Design Project Colour Challenge is the colour combination is Mint Macaron, Garden Green and Balmy Blue. There are so many ways to be creative with Stampin’ Up! colours, and the Design Team have challenged us with this combination and have shared gorgeous projects to inspire us.

This week I am featuring the Waves of the Ocean Collection, so I am pleased that this colour combination should work well with these collection of new products.

Here is the card I created for this challenge.

I started by using some Blending Brushes to add the three colours to small areas of a piece of Basic White cardstock.

The next step was to use the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder to add texture to this layer of cardstock.

For the ribbon, I took a long length of White Faux Linen Ribbon, for the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Pack, and coloured it using the Dark Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blend. This ribbon was then cut in half lengthwise. I layered a length of Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon, the the two Macaron ribbons, and tied a bow using Linen Thread to hold the bow in place.

The sentiment, from the Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set, was stamped and die cut. I threaded the ribbons through the opening at the right hand side of the tag and secured these under the embossed front layer. The multiple bows were secured in place using Mini Glue Dots.

The left hand side bow ribbons were left hanging in place and the Linen Thread was frayed open.

I took another piece of Basic White cardstock to colour and emboss. Then I added Adhesive Sheet to the back and die cut the trees, gate and grass using the Horizon Dies.

I added the die cut Basic White pelican because this is the product collection I am featuring this week.

I am pleased with the amount of white space I have achieved in this card.

I prepared two additional treelines to add to the card insert and envelope.

Some Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels were added to the card front to add that little element of bling.

It looks like it’s time to give my Blending Brushes a really good clean.

Taking part in the weekly Global Design Project challenge always keeps me on my toes to create a project that follows the GDP theme usng the products I have chosen to highlight in that week. So far, so good – I think that I have been able to do this reasonably well. I would love your feedback.

What do you like best about this card?

I have another project to share today – I will post it in a few hours.

Until then, happy stamping.
