Global Design Project

This weeks project is Night of Navy, Whisper White and any colour.  I choose gold, a tiny bit for the sentiment.  Hope you enjoy.  http://www.global-design-project.com/





Step one

Cut a sheet of A4 Night of Navy in half and score and  fold at 10.5cm for card base.  Cut Whisper White a little bit smaller, then another layer of Night of Navy bit smaller.  Using the med and small stitched square die cut Night of Navy and Whisper White.

Step 2


Using the retired set By the Tide, I stamped the shell image in Night of Navy ink.

Step 3



Take the layer piece of Night of Navy and prepare it for heat embossing with the embossing buddy.
I used the Happy Birthday from Iconic Occasions.

Step 4


Stick Night of Navy layer to Whisper White layer.

Step 5 

Use dimensionals to layer Whisper White stitched square to Night of Navy stitched square.  Stick to front of card.  I also put a layer of Whisper White inside to write message on.
Finished.
