This week’s Global Design Project is a theme challenge… flowers! There are so many from which to choose, I landed on a favorite set, Quiet Meadow, that is carrying over to the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. I should point out that the stamp set is available in a bundle with the dies, for a 10% savings, until May 3rd when the new catalog goes live. At that time, the stamp set and dies will be offered separately.

Watercolored Blooms

The blooms on today’s card evolved without a definite plan ahead of time. I began by stamping the Quiet Meadow flower in five colors of ink on Basic White Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink, Poppy Parade, Pale Papaya, and Polished Pink. Then, I used Paper Snips for cutting, and quickly passed them through running water. After letting them dry, I embossed them with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder, and curled them with my fingers.

Next, I added Artistry Blooms Sequins to the centers, and Dimensionals for attaching to the card front. The sequins are retiring, at regular price, and the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder is retiring, on sale for $7.20.

The background is Basic White Cardstock, 4 ” X 5 1/2″, embossed with the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder. This folder is also retiring, and on sale for $5.40. 

I glued this layer to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Last, but not least, the sentiment. The words, “amazing” and “you” and from the Amazing Thanks Die Set, cut from Rainbow Glimmer Paper, with the backing from Thick Basic White Cardstock. After gluing them together, I attached the words with Mini Dimensionals.

The Rainbow Glimmer Paper is retiring, and on sale for $4.80.

I’m informing you to the best of my ability, and apologize if the sale items are no longer available by the time you see my blog post.
