Flowering Desert cactus card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Flowering Desert cactus card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Flowering Desert - Global Design Project Color Challenge - GDP177

February 18, 2019

I was so excited to see this weeks Global Design Project color challenge. These colors look amazing together. I knew immediately that I wanted to use the Flowering Desert stamp set with these colors.

Flowering Desert is a great builder stamp set. I like a set with lots of images that I can build upon and customize. This set is so easy to use and everything you stamp looks fantastic and deliberate. I created the background scene by building various cactus, flowers and leaf images. To balance it I started by stamping with the larger images and the darkest color first. Then I filled in the open spaces with the smaller images. I like this effect.

Ready to see more color inspiration using Melon Mambo, Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green?

This blue and purple winter card uses tidbits from the Calm & Bright kit. I used the negative shape from the fir die cut to create a stencil and layered from there. Blend, stencil, stamp.

Masking and stamping! On this card I mask with tape, blend ink, then stamp, then stencil, and stamp again to create a layered scene. It’s so satisfying to remove the masking tape… always a fun reveal.

Sending Joy! I created this wintry scene using the Calm and Bright card kit. I love the look of white on white. I pulled in some gold embossing and Crumb Cake to balance out all that white. This CAS kit has tons of cute and tiny elements (yippee for tiny stamps) that are perfect for creating an adorable little holiday scene. 166461 Card created for @global_design_project BRRR theme. #gdp523 #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #cardmakingreels #madewithmine
