This week’s Global Design Project is a sketch challenge. I hope you’ll join in the fun, and share your creation on social media. Don’t forget to tag it #gdp530.

I’m featuring the Fragrant Layers Bundle, which is an Online Exclusive that just became available January 6th. I used a fun, “paper-piecing” technique with a die-cut from the set on today’s card. First, I cut a gingham pattern from Perennial Lavender Designer Paper, 5 1/4″ X 4″. Then, I placed the Fragrant Layers Die on the left side, and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. This piece was glued to Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″, which was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. 

Paper-Piecing Technique

Next, I used the “paper-piecing” technique to fill in (color) the flowers. I used the same die, making two cuts from Celebratory Sips Designer Paper, which created orange, yellow, and red petals. Then, with the help of the Take Your Pick tool to pick up the petals, I glued 15 petals in place. The flower centers were cut from Woven Textures Designer Paper.

“Just a note” is from the Fragrant Layers Stamp Set. I stamped it in Early Espresso Ink, used a Fragrant Layers Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. As a final touch, I added three, Garden Epoxy Shapes.
