I love the Global Design Challenge Cards each week and this week is no different! My GDC friends have come up with a colorchallenge that I thought was a bit tricky at first, but I love how my cards came out!
So, when I was trying to figure out what to make, it occured to me that the Project Life Hello December colors were similar, I got my card pack out and was immeadiately sure of what I was going to do!
I just love the look of these two cards with simple layering and just a few little touches to embellish!
This one is my favorite! I love how clean and simple the card is and how easy it was to make!
First of all, the base of the card is the PL card from the Hello December Card Pack. I punched 3 of the largest stars from the Stars Confetti Border Punch in Silver GLimmer Paper. In order to really increase the shiney look of the silver metallic, I added some Metalic Thread to the bottom. Perfect!
I adhered the silver stars with the new fine-tip glue. I knew it needed a bit more so I stamped the greeting to pull in the Taupe. I used And Many More.
One last touch was needed to pull in the Watermelon: Confett Heart Border Punch and one of the largest earts added to the tree. LOVED it!
Last I was debating the card base being either Vanilla or Taupe and I decided to pull in the Taupe and stamped some snowflakes from the Project Life Hello December Stamp set. Perfection!
Of course I couldn't stop there! When do I ever make one card?! So I loved this single tree Project LIfe card and turned that in to another lovely card. After all, I had a bunch of confetti Hearts I needed to use!
Some ribbon and a stamped greeting in Taupe and I was all set!
I hope you loved these cards that I made for the GDP009 Challenge! I had a great time playing along with the weekly challenge–it was a fun color combo this week!
