It's time for our theme challenge at Global Design Project. Realistically, I don't know if I can call this a challenge, considering practically every card I make fits into this category...lol :)
Whether your style is trendy or traditional, the Hand-penned Petals stamp set (#155492) has a broad appeal and it is perfect for this week's challenge. For both cards I heat embossed the flowers with gold embossing powder on watercolor paper and then used ink refills and a water brush to color the images. I used Fresh Freesia, Bumble Bee, and Pear Pizzazz.
For this first card I wanted to create something a little more trendy, so I sponged VersaMark ink over one of the new stencils from the Plenty of Patterns Decorative Masks (#155553), heat embossed it with Heat & Stick Powder (#154317) and then added Gilded Leafing (#154561).
To finish off the card I added a few sequins and a pre-cut foil piece from the Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack (#155465).
This next card is a little more traditional. I used some Fresh Freesia paper from the In Color DSP Assortment (#155641) for the base of the card. Then I cut a rectangle from white cardstock using the Stitched Rectangles dies (#151820) and layered on three sets of flowers. (Note: I cut one of the flower assortments into two pieces and placed them beneath the others for a fuller look.) Finally, I stamped and fussy cut the word "hello" for both cards using the new Biggest Wish stamp set. (#155052)
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.
