Global Design Project #450 | #GDP450 | Sketch Challenge

Hi there stamping friends! Thanks for stopping here at my blog. Today I'm playing along with the sketch challenge over at the Global Design Project #450 | #GDP450 | Sketch Challenge.

 I love the simplicity of the sketch and how much 'creative licence' it gives you. You can keep your creation fairly simple or go all out with a sketch like this. I think I've gone somewhere in between.

I've gone for a bit of a white on white card today with a little touch ogf neutrals. I do love a beautiful white card and I think the neutrals that I've paired with the white create a classic and classy look.

I've used the beautiful and intricate magnolia dies from the Magnolia Mood bundle to create a faux embossed look. This is where the same coloured die cuts are layered on the same colour cardstock to create an 'embossed' look. It looks like it's embossed but it's not. I've used for the very first time the Silver Enamel Effects and I love the gorgeous shinny metaillic affect they give. Watch this space to see some more Enamel Effects. They are a cost efffective way to add 'embellishments' to any project.

I've used the Country Woods DSP to add the banner element like as in the sketch and then I've finished the card off with some Baker's Twine, Black and Very Vanilla Large Check Ribbon and the embossed Happy Birthday Sentiment.

I do hope that you've enjoyed my take on the GDP sketch and I hope you try the faux embossing technique, it really gives a beautiful look to any creation.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Stamping!
