We have a color challenge this week over at the Global Design Project challenge blog.
I am excited to finally get the opportunity to use some of the awesome products in the new Stampin' Up! annual catalog. I especially love the Detailed Floral Thinlits die that I used for the background on this card. It is beautiful and versatile too. It is one of the very first items I put on my "must have" list.
This is one of the most AMAZING catalogs that I can remember. It was truly difficult to narrow down my first order. Of course, you know I love everything flowers so I was intrigued with the new Bunch of Blossoms stamp set and coordinating Blossom Builder Punch. To build this flower I stamped eight small petals and eight large petals with Sweet Sugarplum ink for the solid base layer. This is a multi-layer stamp set, so I needed a deeper color for the shadows. I used Rose Red ink for the second layer and the outline. I cannot believe how well these two colors work together. Next, I punched out all the petals and glued the petals together in groups of four and offset the petals in each layer. I borrowed the leaves from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set and stamped them in Night of Navy ink.
We would love to have you play along with us this week. Be sure to check out what the other talented designers/players have created for this fun challenge at the Global Design Project Challenge Blog.
