Global Design Project 243 - Floral Theme

Hi Crafters,

I am entering the Global Design Project challenge 243 today and the theme is floral.  
I have made two clean and simple cards using the new Celebrate Sunflowers bundle.  I hope they bring you inspiration and if you would like to create your own, head to my online shop.  


My first card features a Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede and gold foil sunflower.  I changed up the colours for the second card, using Basic Black and Mango Melody.  There is also a hint of shimmer on the sunflower centre with a touch of Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.  I kept the layout and sentiment the same for both cards.  This would be a good design to mass produce too.  


I created a card base using a half sheet of A4 thick Whisper White cardstock.  The frame behind the sunflower was created using the largest two squares from the Layering Square Dies in Whisper White cardstock.  I cut five frames and glued together with Liquid Multipurpose Glue.  I stamped the sunflower image in Daffodil Delight onto Crushed Curry cardstock, using a sponge dauber for the centre with Soft Suede ink.  I cut the image using the co-ordinating die from the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle.  I added a gold foil die cut on top and finished with a sentiment from the stamp set in Daffodil Delight.  


My second card was started in the same way but I used Basic Black cardstock for the square frame behind the sunflower.  I stamped the sunflower image in Mango Melody ink onto Mango Melody cardstock and then cut the layering sunflower pieces in Basic Black cardstock.  


I used a sponge dauber and some Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint for the centre of the flower before adhering the layers together.  I stamped the same sentiment in Mango Melody ink to finish off this card.  


I would like to enter these cards into the following challenges:


Happy crafting,

Dream Ink Blending with Stampin' Up!

Hi crafters,

I'm in the ink blending zone at the moment and I have another card featuring my favourite technique.  I used inks, cardstock and dies in this card - no stamping!  I will stamp a greeting on the inside before giving the card.  I usually do this once I decide on a recipient if I haven't made it with a special someone in mind.  



I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock and added blobs of Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo ink.  When these colours overlap, a lovely purple is created.  I inked the edges of the panel in Night of Navy ink and then added a bit of Tuxedo Black Memento ink to really capture the halo effect of a galaxy.  I splattered some watered down Craft Ink Refill with a paintbrush.  The Hand-lettered Prose Dies were the perfect addition to the centre and with an alphabet you can chose any word that fits your recipient.  I cut four each of the letters - three in Whisper White and one in Silver Glimmer Paper.  I finished by adhering some stars from the flourish in the Stitched Stars Dies.  I attached the die cuts and panel with Liquid Multipurpose Glue.  

I would like to enter this card into the SUO Challenges - Die-cutting challenge (SUOC237).  

Happy crafting,
