This week’s Global Design Project is a sketch challenge, which was very inspirational. See how I used the sketch, then create your own project. Don’t forget to post it on social media, and tag it #gdp502.

I began by using Stampin’ Blends to paint four stripes on Basic White Cardstock. The colors are, top to bottom: Petunia Pop, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, and Old Olive. I used four brush strokes per color, looking at the sketch for length. Then, I stamped a Thankful Garden stamp in Memento Black Ink on top of the stripes.

Next, I used the second largest Textured Notes Die for cutting. I love these dies, because of the tiny, detailed borders, and they eliminate measuring! You can see all of the sizes in my Product List below.

The cardstock layered behind the white cardstock is Fresh Freesia, 4″ X 5 1/4″, given texture with the Damask Designs Embossing Folder. Then, I glued the layers to a Petunia Pop card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

“Friend” is from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set. I stamped it in memento Black Ink on basic White Cardstock, used an Unbounded Love Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. Then, I added some black, Neutral Matte Dots, just for fun!
