'Friend to Friend' Global Design Project #042 | Sketch Challenge


Hi and welcome back...

I am going away for a short break to visit with family, so I decided to get one last blog in before I go.


Today's card was inspired by nature and a sketch from the team over at GDP this week.

 #GDP042


I had been thinking about all the new colours that are available this season from SU ....I & I noticed I hadn't seen very much of one in particular (Emerald Envy) , so I thought I would incorporate that colour into my card today. 

Here is my card.

'Friend to Friend'




#Botanicalblooms #KOCreationscards #Teenytinysentiments #Emeraldenvy  #Serenescenery

How I made 'Friend to Friend':

  • I used thick Whisper White for my card base cut to 10.5cm  x 15cm portrait style.
  • For the card front, I cut a frame with Crumb Cake card stock using the large square framelits...I did this by marking how big I wanted my frame to be and then marking the corners to show how wide my frame needed & then moving the square from corner to corner lining up the edges before running through my bigshot.
  • I used the both of the little pop up flowers from the Botanical Builder Framelits set set plus the ruffled edge style as well. I edged all in Pool party to match the DSP underneath.
  • I cut 3 different lengths of Burlap Ribbon and glued them under where I wanted my flowers. 
  • I then added the flowers after adding height by layering with dimensionals.
  • For each flower centre, I added an Emerald Green enamel circle.
  • For the sentiment I stapled the banners together then layered using dimensionals. I then tied some linen Thread around the end & hung a small flower, so it swings with the card.
  • I layered the Crumb Cake frame onto the painted timber DSP using Foam Adhesive strips.
  • Then using Tear and Tape I placed all of this onto Emerald Green card stock.
  • I then layered my completed card front onto the card base using dimensionals.
  • I also added a little of the front style into the inside, just for continuity.
  • I also added Clear Wink of Stella to the flowers and the sentiment for a little added sparkle.
