Today we are casing the wonderful and super talented Paula Dobson from New Zealand with #GDP036. Paula is a super talented member of the Global Design Project and is amazing at colouring and sponging. All her cards have blown me away and this week we get to Copy and Selectively Edit one of her beautiful cards.
I decided to use the Helping Me Grow stamp set which is carrying over into the new catalogue. I stamped it onto a white background in black ink and coloured the green stems and leaves. I roughly coloured the flower heads in Flirty Flamingo (one of the new In Colours coming in June – and my fave!) and then stamped the flower heads again on a separate piece of cardstock,
I coloured the flower head with Flirty Flamingo marker pen and then added more depth of colour with Melon Mambo and Watermelon Wonder using a Blender Pen.
I coloured the flower centres with black ink and added crystal effects to give a glossy finish.
I lightly sponged around the stamped flower to make the card pop a little more off the background.
I then added the coloured flowers to the card with a dimensional. I used some new washi tape stuck to a piece of cardstock and cut out the you word using the Hello You Thinlits. The thinking of is from the matching stamp set Crazy About You.
Here is the card of Paula’s we cased….
I really hope you are going to join us this week and make your own cased creation using Paula’s card for inspiration.
