A Grouping of Flowers for #GDP048

This weeks Global Design Project challenge is ” CASE the designer” Tanja Kolar.  Since we have a pretty liberal requirement on this challenge, what I chose is her grouping of objects as a focal point. Tanja uses balloons. I am using flowers.  And because I really love how Watermelon Wonder plays off Crumb Cake, I made that the color story for my “CASE” of Tanja’s card.

My card isn’t the only one CASEd from Tanja’s.  Check out the others for this challenge at #GDP048 by clicking here! Or on the icon below.

This card design is for someone who doesn’t mind the challenge of stamping and cutting out a total of 10 die cuts! Intricate designs using dies cuts isn’t for everyone. But for me, I really love stamping & cutting out more pieces than I need and then “arranging” them much like a floral designer would in a vase. I have done quite a few cards using this technique and blogged about doing flowers like this before. I always say that your cheapest commodities in good stamping are paper, ink and patience! And don’t be afraid to use all 3 when designing a multi layer card.

Well, that is my take on this week’s challenge.  An you should try it too!  This is a fabulous challenge with stampers from all over the world.
