This week’s Global Design Project is a fun sketch. Be inspired by our designers, then hang your design in our gallery.
I began my design by stamping a Scenic Wonders stamp on Earthen Elegance Designer Paper. By using a Sponge Dauber to apply the Lost Lagoon Ink I was able to control the amount of ink on this “distinktive” stamp. Then, I used the second largest Deckled Rectangles Die for cutting. The same die was used to cut Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Paper, which I glued at an angle on the card base. The card base is Lost Lagoon Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
I like how this specialty paper blends with Lost lagoon, and adds shine to the card. It’s not in the catalog, but is available in Online Exclusives, with links below.
“Live your biggest dream”
Next, I added a row of Natural Wavy Trim, and Simply Elegant Trim, adhered with Tear & Tape. This was done by placing the tape across the card front, and wrapping it around the sides to the back. For extra durability, I glued the layer to cardstock, before attaching it to the card base with Dimensionals.
The sentiment, “live your biggest dream,” is from the Scenic Wonders Stamp Set. I stamped it in VersaMark on Earthen Elegance DSP, sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder, and set it with the Heat Tool. Then, I used the smallest Deckled Rectangles Die for cutting, and backed it with more of the Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Paper.
I embellished the sentiment with one of the Brushed Brass Butterflies. These are great, because they are self-adhesive and flat, making them easy apply and send in the mail.
