It was a joy to CASE Madeleine Mrotzek’s card this week at Global Design Project. Madeline has a soft, beautiful stamping style. You should check out some her other projects at her blog.
For my card, I focused on using a similar layout, corner floral elements, and color palette by using the Hand-Penned Petals (#155070) stamp set along with a sentiment from In Symmetry (#155140). I stamped with Gray Granite ink on white cardstock and then die cut the floral images using the coordinating Penned-Flowers Dies (#155557).
I wanted a little more variation in color than the stamp set would give, so I decided to color my floral images with Stampin' Blends Markers using a very loose-handed coloring technique.
I skipped the embossed background and let the florals stand on their own. I filled in the florals a little by adding some additional leaves. This also helped a little with the flow of the card and kept it from being too sparse.
I trimmed the card front down with the largest Stitched Rectangle die (#151829) and then mounted it on a slightly larger piece of Old Olive cardstock before adhering the entire panel onto the front of a top-folding card base.
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.
