Hello to each of you who have taken the time to pop by today. Thank you – I am grateful that you have. If you ever have any questions about my projects, please just ask.
I am posting my Global Design Project design early this week (woohoo – how’s that for being organised!)
Last week was a colour challenge and, for the first time, my card was chosen as one of the winning projects. I was so delighted when I saw the GDP post.
This week is a sketch challenge:
For today’s project I have continued to focus on the You’re a Peach Suite, as well as the Tailor Made Tags Dies.
I started by using the second largest of the angled tag dies to cut out spaces in a piece of the You’re a Peach Designer Series Paper because I wanted to create a negative space to correlate with the angled features of the sketch challenge. This layer was then popped up onto a Calypso Coral cardbase using Foam Adhesive Strips.
Then I cut two more, smaller tags – one in Balmy Blue and one in the striped DSP. The Balmy Blue tag was embossed using one of the Greenery Embossing Folders. Each tag had a die cut reinforcement in Calypso Coral added. Then small lengths of Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and Basic White Baker’s Twine, from the Essentials Pack, were tied through the tag opening. The sentiment, from the Sweet as a Peach Stamp Set, was stamped using Calypso Coral onto Basic White cardstock before being trimmed down. Finally, I added some 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels onto the card front. I used the Soft Succulent jewels that appear to be a blue/green on the paper.
I used the smallest of the angled tag dies to cut pieces of DSP and cardstock to layer and adhere to the card insert and front of the envelope.
I am so pleased with the way this card looks. Participating in blog hops and challenges is a great way to create in ways I would not normally choose myself. It’s always good to move out of your comfort zone, from time to time, and keep things new and fresh.
What do you think? Is this the type of card you would have made using this sketch challenge?
Happy stamping.
