Global Design Project - CASEing Shawn

#GDP088

This week at the Global Design Project we are getting our inspiration from one of our talented Design Team Members, Shawn de Oliveira from the US. I have always loved Shawn's clean and sophisticated style. 

The definition of CASE: Copy And Share Everything
Put simply, we get our inspiration from a particular project or creation. For this challenge we can use ANY element. You might be inspired by the colours, the stamp set or the card layout.

I have always loved the large rose from the Rose Wonder stamp set and even more exciting is that this stamp set is carrying over into the new catalogue. It's a beautiful and versatile stamp set and with the coordinating Rose Garden Thinlits, I would go as far to say it should be a staple item in your stamping stash!  

I have seen many different creations made using this set and this stamp really does do all the work! I wanted to keep my card clean and simple with some easy watercolouring using the Aqua Painter and ink from the lids of Melon Mambo and Pear Pizzazz. To do this I used a small amount of ink and lightly coloured the entire area and left to dry. I repeated the process only focusing on the darker areas, leaving to dry after each colour and used papersnips to cut out the flower, leaving off the large leaf. I then adhere the flower using Multipurpose Glue to the top the card - leaving the edges of the rose to curl up a little, giving it that slight amount of dimension.

Now head over to the Global Design Project and see what the amazing Design Team have in store for you this week.
