Global Design Project #8 and New Weekly Deals



I had not had the opportunity to participate in the challenges over at the Global Design Project blog until this week. This week's #GDP008 challenge is to CASE the designer, the very talented Kylie Bertucci. We were instructed to be inspired by either the theme, layout, the colors or particular stamp sets. Here is her card:



I ended up using the theme (flowers) and the color combo of Stampin' Up Cherry Cobbler, Tip Top Taupe & Crushed Curry. All products used are from Stampin' Up! including the recycled corrugated cardboard I tore from a Stampin' Up! shipping box. 



I somewhat flattened the corrugated cardboard by running it through my Big Shot between the cutting plates. Then I randomly rubbed Versamark on it and embossed those areas with White Stampin' Emboss powder. I added water & color randomly on the tag before stamping the flower image from Remarkable You on it with Tip Top Taupe and the speckles with Crushed Curry using my most used stamp from the  Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. I then used a barely wet brush to paint the flower with Cherry Cobbler & Crushed Curry. I used the White Signo gel pen to add a few highlights to the flower. I dyed the Whisper White Seam Binding Ribbon with Crushed Curry ink. All in all, I am happy the mixed media look of this card.

Artfully Yours,

Kim
