Global Design Project #510

 

Today’s Global Design Project #51 is a sketch challenge, and I couldn’t resist pulling out the brand-new Lustrous Aurora DSP. This paper is stunning on its own—it looks just like the northern lights! To keep the focus on that gorgeous background, I paired it with black silhouette die cuts inside circle frames for a bold, night-sky scene.

Steps

1. Card Base
   Cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock to 5 ½” x 8 ½”. Score at 4 ¼” to create your card base.

2. Background Layer
   Trim the Lustrous Aurora DSP to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere to the card front.

3. Circles
   Die cut three stitched circles in Basic White cardstock.

4. Silhouettes
   Die cut tree and mountain shapes from Basic Black cardstock. Adhere them inside the circles to create night-time scenes.

5. Sentiment
   Stamp your sentiment on a strip of white cardstock. 

6. Assemble
   Layer the circles on the DSP background using Dimensionals for depth. Add the sentiment strip across the front.

7. Finishing Touches
   Embellish with sequins or gems to add a little sparkle to the night sky.

Final Thought

This card comes together quickly but gives a bold and scenic effect. The contrast of the Aurora DSP with black silhouettes really makes the design pop!
