This week at Global Design Project, we are CASEing this amazing card by the talented Steffi Helmschrott. I must tell you that this card is way out of my comfort zone and style, but I really did enjoy trying something new.
Steffi has a great video tutorial for this card, however, it is in German. She does a great job showing how she made her card, but a few things do seem to get lost in the translation. I had to contact Steffi and ask what is "Seidenglanz"? Turns out Google Translate doesn't do a good job translating to "Shimmery White Cardstock". Other than that, I had no problems understanding her technique.
I decided to try to be as true as possible to Steffi's card, but of course, I didn't want to make an exact copy, so for the background, I used Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Real Red ink. Next, I substituted a flower cluster from the Artistic die set (#155371) for the butterfly.
I needed to make a belated graduation card for a friend's daughter, so I used the "Congratulations" from the Art Gallery Stamp Set (#158201). In my first attempt, I heat embossed the sentiment in white on Basic Black cardstock, but I didn't like it, so I ended up doing it over on the same woodgrain DSP that I used for the background layer (In Good Taste DSP, #152949).
I mounted the panel on some Crumb Cake cardstock and used some Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457) for some added sparkle. In the end, I hope I did justice to the original card, but most importantly I had fun.
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.
