Over the last weeks weeks I have been looking for some inspiration. One of my favourite places to see gorgeous cards is the Global Design Project. Every week there is a new challenge on a rotating schedule which includes colour challenges, sketches, themes and a CASE challenge. I have been admiring the challenges for a while and today have decided to share a card that I have made using #GDP302 sketch challenge.
I love the stripes and I also love the inspiration from the design team. I am super excited that I have finally decided on what I wanted from the July to December Mini Catalogue and the delivery arrived this week. So I had some new goodies to play with. I have used the Happy from the Christmas Cheer dies and the striped mask from the Adorning Designs decorative masks.
Instructions
Create a card base
Create a frame from a piece of scrap paper -line up card at the 1/2 inch line and used the cutting blade from 1/2 inch point on all four sides creating a frame
Add Low Tack Stencil Tape to ensure card base doesn’t move
Line up the stripes on the mask to make them vertical using grid paper can help ( see image below)
Add more stencil tape, to keep the stencil in place.
Add the frame to the stencil
Use a blending brush to add Polished Pink ink to the whole of the area
Use a sponge dauber to add Fresh Freesia to the larger stripes.
Allow time for ink to dry
Add card to Stamperatus and line up the birthday stamp
Mask off the Happy and add Momento ink to the Birthday, add to card
Mask off the Happy and add Momento ink to the Birthday, add to card (repeat until as dark as required)
