May All Your Tomorrows - Global Design Project #157

Good morning, friends! If you're coming from the GDP blog, welcome to Calgary, Canada! I'm here today with a super special blog post for Global Design Project #157.

Global Design Project isn't typically on my roster of blog posts, but after entering last month's colour challenge, I was asked to be a guest designer for this month's. So fun!

Of course, I was happy to join the GDP team again and work with this gorgeous colour combination of Blackberry Bliss, Mint Macaron, and Grapefruit Grove.

The first thing I made with this card was the sentiment panel - that was an easy way to work in all three colours and start with a focal point, and then I could build from there. Adding layers upon layers, I was able to pile on lots of colour with very little white space - my favourite!

I love the look of the traditional, elegant sentiment panel with the modern and clean polka dot DSP. It's a fun way to combine things, isn't it? All of the supplies in this lovely card are available from Stampin' Up! - you'll find links to purchase from my Online Canadian Stampin' Up! Store at the bottom of this post!

Never Too Old - Broadway Birthday

Hello friends! I'm back with another card I've had socked away in the queue - and thank goodness for that queue, because once again I'm SICK! The last few months have been a germ factory up in here. I've got strep throat again - if you're keeping track, this is the fourth time since the end of June. One more and I get a bingo! I haven't had much time or inclination to craft as I've been lazing about and trying to feel better.

Today's card was a request from a customer. I have a number of ladies who regularly buy my cards, and a few more who put in a special order for a special occasion. I love these orders - they keep me on my toes and give me something to work toward.

Today's card was for a gent's milestone 80th birthday.

I was on a roll of using Blueberry Bushel the night I created this, and I love the end result! It's such a lovely, rich blue. Paired with gold and Balmy Blue, it masculine with a bit of glam perfect for a special occasion.

Broadway Birthday might be an upcoming CrushOnColour Project Pack - I loved creating with it!
