TIMELESS TEXTURES FOR #GDP017


Happy New Year to you all and welcome back to a brand new year at Global Design Project!  I am so excited about the start of this year because we have the new Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogues going live tomorrow, and I get to work with some of the most talented Stampin' Up! demos on the planet! It also meant I could use NEW product for this weeks colour combination!

I have to admit to a wee struggle making these colours work together and I had no clear plan of what I wanted to do, which is actually fairly normal for me anyway, lol.  One of my new favourite stamp sets in the Occasions catalogue is called Timeless Textures, which allows for a lot of layers and a grunge/vintage feel.

So that is exactly what I did with the Crumb Cake and Garden Green inks.  Layers and layers and stamping off to get lighter tones helped me create depth to my grunge background.  Then I took that great big, bold "Hello" from a new SAB set aptly called "Hello" and stamped it in Rose Red ink.  It sure makes a statement!  I finished with a gold metallic button and Linen thread to add just a touch of embellishment to a nearly single layer card.

The Global Design Project team members have been hard at work to create more fantastic projects with new product too, so pop over for a visit and get those creative juices flowing!

  5. Love the way you used this set! Putting most of the color and distressing off to one side and on the bottom really draws your eye into the card. Great idea!
