Hello and welcome to this week’s Global Design Project challenge. We have a CASE the Designer challenge: Manuela Geiswinkler. Manuela is a true artist and her cards are always a great place to look for inspiration. I was really enchanted by the beautiful background she created on this card using blue, green and pink. I went for a similar look/feel on my card and I love how it turned out. The stamp set shown is called Etched in Nature and will soon be available through Stampin’ Up!
To create the background I used water brushes, classic ink and watercolor paper. I played around a few times until I achieved a similar look to Manuela’s card. I actually colored and cut the bird image out first so I could see where the color might land behind the bird. Colors used are Just Just, Misty Moonlight, Petal Pink, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake.
