This week’s Global Design Project is a sketch challenge. My first decision was to use the Relaxing Waterside Bundle.

I was excited to cut the fabulous, Relaxing Waterside chair from Country Woods Designer Paper. I actually cut the chair from six of the wood patterns before choosing the brown chair you see. The others will probably show up on different cards.

Next, I used the largest, square, Stylish Shapes Die, to cut a scene from Waterside Retreat Designer Paper.

Then, I used the smallest, square, Stylish Shapes Die, to cut four patterns of Waterside Retreat Designer Paper. “Dad” is from the Relaxing Waterside Stamp Set, stamped in Early Espresso Ink on one of the squares. Before attaching the squares, I cut a pattern of Bloom Boutique Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″.  This Peaceful Pine, wavy, pattern was glued to a Peaceful Pine card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I glued the large, scene, flat, layered the small squares on cardstock, and attached them with Dimensionals.

For the inside, I glued Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″.  “Have a great birthday” is from the Relaxing Waterside Stamp Set, stamped in Early Espresso ink. To complete the card, I fussy cut a fish from Waterside Retreat DSP, and glued it in place.
