This week's Global Design Project Challenge (GDP460) is a really fun CASE the Designer challenge! I love the card designer Susan Wong created, and decided to try to copy her layout pretty closely. I was especially excited to try to recreate the watercoloring and drips in the background! I decided to use Old Olive for my background, but I think if I did it over again, I would want to try Pool Party for a bit more contrast with the flower. I also lightly watercolored around the edge of the card base, beneath the watercolored layer.
The flower and greeting are stamps from the July 2024 Painted Petals Paper Pumpkin kit. I watercolored the flower with Melon Mambo and Old Olive inks.
The Melon Mambo strips behind the flower and greeting are scraps from the Paper Pumpkin kit, which I stamped with the diagonal stripe stamp from the kit.
The strings were pulled out of the new Wild Wheat Rustic Striped Ribbon, gathered back together in a rough loop, and fastened between the greeting and card with dimensionals.
For the finishing touch to the front, I added some of the Pretty in Pink Shimmer Gems around the card front and a Peach Pie gem in the center of the largest flower.
