Global Design Project GDP#001 Gorgeous Colour Challenge for a Wedding

I'm so excited about this new blog as they are all amazing designers and some of the team members are among my favourite card makers and designers. It will be lovely to see what they all create each week.  To start things off they have gone with a colour scheme.


You can check out the Blog with all the team members Here

I have gone for another wedding card as the colours are so well suited.
There is a lot of clear embossing on the different papers - French Script (sadly retired - my first ever Stampin' Up! purchase and still a favourite!) on the So Saffron  DSP paper and Gorgeous Grunge on the Pink Pirouette.  I did some So Saffron aqua painting for the background and tissue flowers, and  I used the Pewter Embossing Powder (sadly retired) on the Expressions Naturals Elements quite easily. The leaf is of course from Summer Silhoettes and has a hit of glitter from a metallic gel pen which I love to use.




The Envelope Punch board makes such a snap of making a coordinated envelope, and it makes every card that little bit extra special.

Thanks for looking, 

Liz

    Liz - you are right. These colors are perfect for a wedding. I love the layout of your card - the focal flower is beautiful, but the sentiment is a scene-stealer. :) Thank you for playing along with this week's Global Design Project color challenge!

    Oh wow. I love all the details on this card. You left no element untouched, but it skillfully all works together. Obviously, I love the embossed greeting, but I absolutely love the clear embossing. Thank you so much for sharing with us at Global Design Project.

      Thanks Shawn, yes I think clear embossing is under-utilised! Must do more of it ; )

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car
