Global Design Project 175

Happy Sunday to everyone.  It's about time  to get in gear for the week ahead.  Unfortunately I have been  a little under the weather this weekend and still don't feel like there is an end in sight.  A thought I would get my card up for you while I have a little energy boost.

The Global Design Project this week is a theme, Down the Garden Path.  I love flowers so I decided to use one of the sets in our Occasions catalog Wonderful Romance.  The suite has some fantastic dies that coordinate so nicely with the stamp set.  

For coloring I used my Stampin Blends in colors of Lovely Lipstick, Petal Pink, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive.  These are a high quality alcohol makers that are affordably priced. Of course the colors match perfectly with all of the other Stampin Up products.

The beautiful lovely lipstick foil background is a Sale-a-bration product.   If you don't have the foil Paper you could use the lovely Lipstick card stock and it would look just as beautiful.  I really like the unique border die with the framelits set.  I could be very versatile.  The ribbon is the Polka Dot Tulle ribbon in Whisper White.  It adds a playful touch.  

I used another piece of the foil paper to  make a liner for the envelope. That always says fancy.  Decorating the inside of the card and the envelope just adds more enjoyment for the recipient. 

I hope you are inspired by this project or any of the projects from those that participated in the challenge this week.
