This week’s Global Design Project is a color challenge, using Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, and Secret Sea. We’d love to see how you use this color combination, so please share with social media, and tag it #gdp517.

I began my design by making a stencil with a Branching Out Die; cutting the center from a square of vellum. Then, I used a Small Blending Brush and Secret Sea Ink to color several branches on Basic White Cardstock, 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″.

Stenciled Branches
Once I was satisfied with the number of stenciled branches, I used the second largest Branching Out Die for cutting. Then, I stamped the sentiment in Secret Sea Ink, and layered this on Secret Sea Cardstock, cut with the largest Branching Out Die. “O holy night” is from the A Child Is Born Stamp Set. Both layers were glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Next, I used the same Branching Out Die, that I used for the stencil, to cut two branches from Old Olive Cardstock, and glued them in place. And, I used another Branching Out Die to cut berries from Cherry Cobbler Cardstock. After adding the berries, and three, Low Profile Sparkle Dots, my card was complete.

For the month of October, I will be offering a FREE BUNDLE with every $50.00 you order from me (merchandise subtotal, before tax and shipping). The free bundles are retired and gently used by me, and are pictured on my blog (menu item “BOGO Sale”). You will need to send me an email (suheilmohr@gmail.com) with your mailing address and the title of the set you are choosing immediately after placing your order with Stampin’ Up! You’ll want to let me know right away, before someone else selects it, because these bundles are one-of-a-kind. I will remove the ones that are selected, and mail them the first of November. Sound fun? I hope so!
Just announced! Kits are discounted up to 30% for three days only. October 6-8. Order today!
