Extraordinary Flora for Global Design Project

This week’s Global Design Project is an inspiring sketch challenge. See how our design team used the sketch. Then, we’d love to see your creation when you post it on social media. Be sure to tag it #gdp510.

I began with Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, which I colored with a Blending Brush, Lost lagoon Ink, and a stencil. I created the circular stencil with a Stylish Shapes Die and Vellum. Because Vellum is see-through, it makes placement easy.

Next, I adhered Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape to Lost Lagoon Cardstock, 3 1/2″ X 5 1/2″. This Washi Tape is so much fun to use, because it picks up the color you adhere it to. If it gets a wrinkle while adhering, you can lift it, and press it flat again. After it was smooth, I ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with its Extraordinary Flora Die. This die cuts the Washi Tape into 16 pieces, and I used 6 for today’s design; 4 attached with Dimensionals, and 2 glued flat. Then, I glued the layer to a Lost Lagoon card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

The sentiment, “For the extraordinary couple,” is from the Extraordinary Flora Stamp Set. I stamped it in Blackberry Bliss Ink, used a Delightful Wishes Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. As a final touch, I tucked three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems among the Flora.
