This week’s Global Design Project is a fun, color challenge, using Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party, and Daffodil Delight. You only have to wait four more days to order the Splendid Thoughts Bundle, and I wanted to give you a sneak peek in this color combo, unlike its coordinating designer paper.

I began by stamping two of the plants, and a bee, from the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set, in Parakeet Party Ink and Daffodil Delight Ink. The stamp set has “two-step” stamping, which I used for coloring; intentionally not matching the outlines for an artistic look. Then, I used three Splendid Stems Dies to cut the plants, and the bee, which match the outlines.

Splendid Thoughts Sneak Peek #1

Next, I used three Splendid Stems Dies to cut plants that are “open” from three colors of cardstock:  Parakeet Party, Daffodil Delight and Basic White.

The bowl is another Splendid Stems Die, cut from Basic White Cardstock that I stamped in Tahitian Tide Ink with a splotch stamp from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set. Prior to attaching it with Dimensionals, I stamped it in Memento Black Ink with a sentiment from the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set, “today is a day to remember.”

The background is Basic White Cardstock, 4′ X 5 1/4″, given a border with the second largest Stitched with Whimsy Die. This was glued to a Tahitian Tide card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. 

I just love this bundle, and can’t wait to continue making cards with it!
