Number of Years & Helping Me Grow - GDP#033


Today's card is for the Global Design Project Colour Challenge #033, and uses two different stamp
sets - Number of Years (bundle with die set) & Helping Me Grow. Water colour was my choice of colouring hoping that the Sahara Sand cardstock was light enough for the Calypso Coral colour to not be muddied. It worked!

There is one thing that I was not happy with, and that was getting my dies to stay in position even on the magnetic platform! Any tips or suggestions?



I think my grand-daughter will love these nautical colours!

I have two photos today to show the layering. One from each side.


In this next one you can see the overhanging layering better.



And as usual, the florals are stamped in Archival Basic Gray onto Whisper White in two corners, and water coloured. Love those Aqua Painters!


Thank  you so much for joining me today for a peek at this card. Be sure to see all the inspiration from the design team and participants at this week's GDP #033 Colour Challenge!

Number of Years - Happy 12th Birthday - Chalkboard

I had promised a while back that I would continue to show you some more 'Grandchildren' birthday cards. I almost forgot! I have some more to share with you. And while  I'm on the topic, after May 31st, this stamp set and die bundle will no longer be available as a bundle! So now would be the time to get it and save!

It has been a while since I used the chalkboard technique, and I wanted to see if I could do it while using subtle pastel colours. I'll let you be the judge if you feel it works or not. Though the colour combination is unique, I feel that my grand-daughter will love t his card.


Next is a close up of the main part of the card. You will note the white line frame drawn with a Signo uni-ball gel pen. I did once again fussy cut that bunch of flowers...


The side view shows the DSP is right on the black card base, while the Whisper White and Basic Black (chalkboard) pieces are attached together and popped up with dimensionals. Then more dimensionals behind the banners and the die cut numbers.


For the inside, just the flowers stamped into a corner.


So there you have another 'grandchild' birthday card.


Thank you for stopping by today, and I hope your weekend is going well, and you found time to do a little stamping/crafting.
