The first Global Design Project for 2025 is a sketch challenge. Please join in the challenge, and tag your entry #gdp478, so that we can find you.

For the circle in the sketch, I chose to make a wreath. The Encircled In Nature Dies are a favorite for making beautiful, delicate, wreaths. For today’s wreath, I used Mossy Meadow Cardstock, along with two designer papers: Perennial Lavender and Country Woods.

Wreath in Designer Paper

For the square, I used a Stylish Shapes Die to cut Perennial Lavender Designer Paper. A second Stylish Shapes Die was used to cut the sentiment label from Country Woods DSP. Prior to cutting, I stamped, “a huge thank you,” in Mossy Meadow Ink.

The background is a fabulous pattern of Storybook Moments Designer Paper, 5 1/4″ X 4″, available January 7. That’s tomorrow! This layer was glued to a Lost Lagoon card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

To complete the design, I added die-cut leaves along the bottom of the sentiment label, and three 2024-26 In Color Shimmer Gems. The gems are blending in, so look carefully.
