This week’s Global Design project is a fun, color challenge, using Granny Apple Green, Secret Sea, and Melon Mambo. I began with a Secret Sea card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This deep blue color is great, because, like black, it makes the other colors pop.

Fragrant Layers

Next, I used a Fragrant Layers Die to create a stencil, which I placed on Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Then, I used a Blending Brush and Secret Sea Ink to make a background. Before gluing the layer to the card base, I sprayed the background with Secret Sea Ink from a Stampin’ Blend.

The flowers, leaves, and blossoms were cut from Basic White Cardstock with Fragrant layers Dies. I used Blending Brushes, with Melon Mambo Ink and Granny Apple Green Ink, to color the flowers and leaves, and the blossoms were left white. Then, I glued them in place, matching the background design.

The sentiment, “just a note,” is from the Fragrant Layers Stamp Set. I stamped it in Secret Sea Ink, used a Fragrant Layers Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. To complete the design, I added Iridescent Pearls to the flower centers.

We’d love for you to join our color challenge. Please share with social media, and tag it #gdp537.
