Global Design Project #280 - Positive Thoughts (#GDP280)

 Hello, thx for visiting!  I hope todays post will inspire you to create!  This weeks GDP is a CASE the designer challenge.  CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit.  

Originally I made a pack of these simple design cards while up north last summer using few supplies.  I love the colour combo of Pear Pizzaz, Smoky Slate and Basic White with a pop of colour.  When I saw the challenge for this week I decided to re-visit the card and add in some additional greys.  

Please click on the picture to be taken to the Global Design Challenge #280.

Here's the details:

Basic White Thick cardstock 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 portrait card base; Smoky Slate layer 3 3/4 x 5; Basic White Thick 3 5/8 x 4 7/8 layer.

The fern leaf is stamped in Pear Pizzazz with a light wash of Mint Macaron brushed over with the Blending Brushes.  The butterfly is from Butterfly Gala and coloured with Stampin' Blends Markers in Light Balmy Blue, Light Seaside Spray and Light Pool Party and punched out with the Butterfly Duet punch.  

The Well Suited Designer Series Paper is cut in 3/4 x 4 1/4 pieces punched twice with the Banner Triple Punch.  I added Shimmer Ribbon to the back of the 1 x 3 3/4 piece of basic white and popped up the sentiment with dimensionals. 

And here is a picture of the original card, which do you prefer?  Have a super day!
