CASE THE DESIGNER - #GDP004
This week we have an exciting challenge for you - CASE the designer! I think this is my favourite challenge so far in the history of Global Design Project, all four weeks of it, lol! I love it because I get to use one of Louise Sharp's gorgeous designs as inspiration.
Lou's card is so beautiful I really didn't want to mess too much with the original design. I used the same layout, but changed the colour scheme. While I kept the same theme, Christmas, I swapped the wreath for a Christmas bauble instead.
Of course, I just had to use the Sleigh Ride framelits and glimmer paper to make the bauble! I layered everything on Dimensionals to give it a real 3D feel as well. Can you see that some of the windows in the village behind have lights on and some don't! Fiddly, but fun!

DeleteThis one leapt out at me in my Pin feed Paula. Condensing the sleigh ride thinlets down into a bauble was just genius. I did noticed the lit windows too!!! Gorgeous and classic in every detail. xxx
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks Kim! They do look quite different when used in a small space, eh? They are my favourites dies - at the moment anyway!
DeleteLove this look! What a fun approach to Louise's card! And those yellow lights :) so fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks Holly, those lights are just too much, eh?!!
DeletePaula I absolutely love your card this week at the Global Design Project. I wonder if you would mind if I used it at one of my classes. I will of course credit you. Jo x
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, thank you so much for the lovely compliment. I am more than happy for you to use it in your class, of course! Have fun xox
DeleteSo creative and gorgeous
ReplyDeleteWhat size is the black glimmer paper bauble...the 2.5" circle punch? Love the idea of the black glimmer as a night sky! Thanks Kelli
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli, I actually used the Circle Collection framelits. You just need to decide what size you would like on your card. Hope this helps.
DeleteLove this--thank you. I found that the fringe scissors cut just the right size paper for the windows (-:
ReplyDeleteyour card is beautiful; it's the little things that make a card, aren't they? TFS!
ReplyDeleteIt is the little things Susan! Thanks for visiting ♥
DeleteYour card has just been CASEd! I handed off my card to my husband’s co-worker who was home for Thanksgiving. He will be travelling back to Suzhou, China tomorrow and will give it to my husband. His job has been really stressful lately and we haven’t been able to communicate much the last few weeks due to poor internet/phone connection. This card will be able to sit on his desk as a beautiful reminder that in just a few short weeks he will be traveling home to Indiana for the Christmas! Thanks for sharing your card with us!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful Emily, that you have this as a reminder of good things to come. So happy you enjoyed the card. Merry Christmas xox
DeleteMay I ask what color scheme you used on the wreath? It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Tamara, you will see that I actually CASEd the wreath card, it is not my own. It was designed by the very talented Louise Sharp. Guessing at the colours she used: Crumb Cake and Soft Suede, with accents of Gold Glimmer paper and perhaps Crystal Effects. Hope that helps.
