This week at Global Design Project, we are CASEing this lovely card by my talented friend, Susan Wong. Susan's card is so pretty, and you know how much I love flowers, so finding inspiration was a breeze.
There really isn't much stamping on my card. I used the same sentiment that Susan used from the Hydrangea Haven Stamp Set (#158210) stamped in Bermuda Bay ink. The main focus of this card is the flowers. I used the Pierced Blooms Dies (#154312) to create a bunch of flowers. Then I spent around an hour assembling different color combinations. You can fit all the flowers from this die set onto a 5.5"x4.25" piece of cardstock, so I cut each flower once from these colors (So Saffron/Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo/Daffodil Delight, and Pool Party/Bermuda Bay). I then cut several sets of leaves from Granny Apple Green and Old Olive cardstock.
I love that Susan used twine on her card because that is exactly what I would have done. Also, the die I used for the tag (Stitched Rectangles #151820) was a bit too short, so I used the partial die-cutting technique to cut part of the tag, moved the die, and then cut the rest of the tag.
The stripes on this DSP are the perfect partner to all those amazing flowers. It is from the Pattern Party 12"x12" DSP (Host Reward #155426). I love how it picks up all the different colors and coordinates perfectly.
But wait, there's more. Look at what you get if you flip this beautiful paper over to the other side...
I absolutely love how the bright flowers pop on the black background. This is the exact same card (with a few tweaks of course) but it has a completely different look. I chose the first card as my CASE because of the soft pastel colors, but honestly, I love them both.
I hope you like today's project. 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 challenge at the Global Design Project Challenge Blog.
