Pansy Petals for Global Design Project 337

This week’s Global Design Project is a color challenge, using Blushing Bride, So Saffron, and Soft Sea Foam. Since I’m out of town, I wasn’t sure I could create a design with my limited supplies, but thanks to Stampin’ Up’s color coordination, I was able to make it come together.

I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, topped with a layer of Blushing Bride Cardstock, cut with the largest Stitched Rectangles Die.

Pansy Petals and Stitching

Next, I needed to find So Saffron and Soft Sea Foam in designer paper, because I had no ink pads or other cardstock in the required colors. Pansy Petals Designer Paper came to my rescue, and I used Pansy Dies to cut the flowers and leaves.

For the background, I used the second largest Stitched Rectangles Die to cut Basic White Cardstock, and added more stitching with the Stitched Greenery Die.

I’m needing Easter cards, and pansies are “happy” flowers, so I used the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set, “Happy Easter, Happy Spring, happy, happy everything.”

I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen, which matches the center of the flowers, and used another Stitched Rectangles Die for cutting.

After gluing the layers, I glued one pansy and two leaves flat, raised the rest on Dimensionals, and my card was complete.
