What Do the Beatles and #GDP246 Have in Common?

I know (um, hope?) I am not alone in my thinking. Raise your hand if you start singing “Hello, Hello! I don’t know why you say good-bye, I say hello!” when you are using this sentiment stamp.

Which answers the question in the title: what do these two things have in common? My card! I am kind of disappointed that neither my husband nor my daughter “got it” with the sentiment. I did put a comma in after the first “HELLO” but they still didn’t get it.

Here’s my card:

Here’s the challenge banner from Global Design Project # 246:

I have to confess that I also wanted this to be for another challenge with a theme of “sunshine”. However, I forgot the other half of that challenge called for clean and simple. Oops!A (Somewhat) Quick Collage

When I started looking at the challenge banner for #GDP246, I immediately thought of the sunflowers. I also knew I did not want to color as many as I would need. So, I grabbed the Flowers for All Seasons 6 x 6 DSP and pulled out a couple of sheets of this pattern.

A (Somewhat) Quick Collage

Amazingly, since I knew exactly what I wanted to do, I was able to get everything together so I only needed to use the Big Shot at one time. I would save so much time if I did this for all my cards. Just saying.

Using the Sunflower Dies, I carefully and strategically cropped out nine sunflowers. It will just be our secret that some of the sunflowers on the bottom layers are only partial sunflowers. I carefully dry-fit all the flowers together before I adhered anything down.

At the same time that I cropped the sunflowers, I also cropped the leafy stems, again using the Flowers for All Seasons DSP. These leafy stems are from the same pattern that I used for the strip down the right side of the card.

While I was at the Big Shot, I ran a piece of white cardstock through it using the Layered Leaves 3D embossing folder. For so many cards, I use the more subtle embossing folders, especially for a clean and simple card. However, I thought this collage could hold its own with a pattern like all these leaves.

At this point, I used the dark Cinnamon Cider blend to color three of the pearl basic jewels. There are multiple layers of color on each one, and it’s a good idea to let the layers dry between applications.

I also thought I would need something to anchor the two sentiment ovals on the card. The new Just Jade ribbon fit the bill perfectly when I tied it in a square knot.

Finishing Up

After using the multipurpose adhesive to attach the leafy stems and flowers, I added mini-dimensionals to the back of the sentiment ovals. While I was at it, I added a leafy stem in the dotted DSP and a vellum leafy stem to the back of the ovals as well.

I added the three Cinnamon Cider pearls in a triangle formation to the front of the card. They coordinate beautifully, and become part of the collage.

Finally, I added an extra cropped sunflower to the bottom, left side of the envelope front and the dotted DSP to the envelope flap.

With that, I’d completed this card/envelope set.

As always, thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. I’d also love to hear what you think, and greatly appreciate every comment.

As you can tell, I have been playing around with the look of my blog. I’d greatly appreciate any feedback you have. Is it too hard to read? Are there too many colors? What do you think about the sidebar? Anything else? Thanks!

Have a Peachy Day!
