This week’s Global Design project is a color challenge: Pool Party, Pale Papaya, and Polished Pink. What a fun way to use new products!

I began with a Pool Party card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was layered with clouds from Flowering Fields Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″.

I could wait no longer to use the darling bicycle, a Windmill Fields Die, and cut it from a white cloud. I used the cloud, because it was whiter than our  white cardstock, and I wanted it to match. Then, I layered it on Pool Party Cardstock for thickness. Truth be told, I cut the bicycle from all the colors, until I decided which was my favorite for this card. Yes, I can be picky.

Bicycle Love

Now, for the fun hearts! I used Sweet Hearts Dies to cut the three, larger, hearts from Sweet Heart Designer Paper, and the three smaller hearts from cardstock in our challenge colors. One, small, Polished Pink heart is in the bicycle basket, and the others are floating on Dimensionals in the clouds.

To complete the scene I added three sections of fence, cut with a Windmill Fields Die from Soft Succulent Cardstock.

Don’t forget to see how our designers used the pretty colors. Hopefully, you’ll be inspired, and add your card to our gallery.
