I bet you were expecting a Christmas card, right? Wrong! This weeks challenge at the
Global Design Project is a sketch challenge and as I have mentioned before, I take these literally!
To me, this weeks challenge just screamed WEDDING, and that is the season we are heading into here in New Zealand. I don't make Wedding cards often, so this was a refreshing change for me. The hardest part was getting my squares and layers to match up!
A while back I purchased the Watercolor Wishes card kit (page 80 of the main Stampin' Up! catalogue), and after I had put all the cards together, I had a heap of product left that I could use on other projects. That is where I got the sequins and the gorgeous wooden heart from that you can see.
I coloured the heart black simply by planting it face down in my Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad. I used SU Makers to colour in the delicate flowers and finished the whole thing with a few Basic Pearls.
I hope you feel inspired to give
this weeks challenge a try. You don't have to stick to the sketch exactly (like I do, lol), but allow it to inspire you. The Design Team creations are amazing as always, so check them out for yet more inspiration.

I love your card Paula. It's very contemporary. The pink and black are very "yin / Yan" and the heart ties it all together perfectly!
