Here I Am Again: right at the wire for GDP#178
Global Design Project #178
This week GDP is a sketch challenge, a clean and simple layout. Sometimes those are the most difficult to create when I struggle with open space.
Here’s the challenge sketch:
I haven’t looked at the challenge in a few days, but did check out the Fab Friday challenge, which is where I got the three colors of Mossy Meadow, Calypso Coral, and Petal Pink.
Card Elements
First, here’s my card:
I knew I would struggle with the open space on this card, so I used the Crackled Paint background stamp. I chose Smoky Slate and stamped it off before stamping on the Whisper White cardstock. It is subtle, but does provide the pattern I wanted.
The Daisy Delight stamp set is the only one I used for this card, along with the coordinating daisy punch. I also used the Leaf Sprig punch.
I used the Mossy Meadow for the base color, sentiment, leaf sprigs, and the center of the daisy. For the center, I stamped off the solid full dot and then used the second stamp at full strength.
Calypso Coral provided the ink for the daisy, and the background strip for the sentiment. I stamped the daisy on Petal Pink cardstock in Calypso Coral as well. I also bordered the Crackled Paint background with Calypso Coral ink, which kept me from needing another layer of cardstock.
Finally, I tied a bow using the Calypso Coral Nature’s Twine. Then, I popped up the base of the card using mini-dimensionals on the Mossy Meadow cardstock base.
