This week’s Global Design Project is a color challenge, using Soft Succulent, Petal Pink, and Sweet Sorbet. See what our designers created, then hang your design in our gallery.
For this color combination, I chose the True Beauty Stamp Set, and stamped the stem with leaves in Soft Succulent Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Next, using the Stamparatus, I colored the flower stamp with Sweet Sorbet and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends, and stamped on Basic White Cardstock. This is called the “ink to stamp” technique.
Framed Flower
After coloring, I used their Organic Beauty Dies for cutting, and glued them to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. To achieve the “frosted glass” look, I covered the flower with Vellum Layering Designs, 3 1/2″ X 4 1/2″, secured by a frame.
The frame was cut from Basic White Cardstock with a Fabulous Frames Die.
“Just because” is from the True Beauty Stamp Set. Don’t you love the font? I stamped it in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a Potted Succulents Die for cutting. After attaching it with Mini Dimensionals, my framed flower card was complete.

Product List
Very beautiful! I love the way the vellum layer makes it look.
You used the “blends” to color directly on the stamp?? I thought Stampin’ write markers were the way “go to”?
You are right, Kathie! I used Stampin’ Write Markers, as shown in the first picture. I made a mistake in my written instructions and Product List. I have used Blends for this technique, but they dry fast, and it’s more difficult. Thank you for noticing.
Beautiful card, but too expensive for me to duplicate it.
An absolutely beautiful card. Very delicate.
Thank you, Suzanne! I’m so glad you like it!
