This week's challenge at Global Design Project is perfect for florals.
I really like this color combo when used with the Art Gallery Stamp Set (#158201). If you get creative, you can turn the large flower into an even bigger one by layering it in different directions. For these beautiful blooms, I used three layers. I also used two of the small flowers to make the medium size flower for the card on the right. The end result reminds me of carnations or maybe even peonies.
This card, in particular, has a lot of layers resulting in a lot of thickness. The white panel is layered on the base with a Foam Adhesive Sheet (#152815). The small strip of Fresh Freesia In-color DSP (#155641) is leftover from an earlier project. The sentiments on both cards are from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set (#155052) and stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink.
This closeup gives you a better look at all the layers.
Fresh Freesia has a pink undertone, so it works well with the Blackberry Bliss. Also, if you don't have Pear Pizzazz ink, I think that Granny Apple Green or even Old Olive would work well as a substitute.
I had enough flowers stamped to make a second card, so I went with something a little more traditional and simple.
I didn't have any Pear Pizzazz DSP, so I used one of the stamps from the set to create a tone-on-tone background. It was almost too pretty to cover up, but I think enough of it shows to add a little something special to the card base. I added a twine bow to the stem and a few sequins from the Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack (#155465) to both cards.
I hope you are inspired to give this color combination a try and play along. Be sure to check out what the other talented designers/players have created for this great color challenge at the Global Design Project Challenge Blog.
