GlobalDesign Project #GDP151 Theme Take Me To The Sea.

Hello and welcome. This weeks Global Design Project challenge has the theme 'Take Me To The Sea'. I don't think the GDP team quiet had a card like mine in mind when they suggested this challenge. My son's and grandson's birthdays fall a week apart and last year I created a shark themed card for my son who is a keen surfer.  However my 8 year old grandson, Darcy was a bit disappointed he didn't get a shark card also. So as his 9th birthday is in another couple of weeks I have made a shark card for him this year.

The front of the card is a pretty basic card, the type of boys card Nana would give you.

But when he opens the card I hope he is surprised to find Jaws hiding inside ready to bite.

Unable to find a template for the card design nor the shark I have had to make my own and hand cut the shark.

I have also added a shark gift tag to coordinate with the card. 

Thank you for visiting me today. I hope you find inspiration from my projects. For even more inspiration using this theme pop on over to the Global Design Project page here.

Global Design Project #gdp094

Global Design Project #gdp094 is a design challenge

I was making some little crates with the Wood Crate Framelits and I thought what a shame to waste the little slithers of die cut cardstock left after cutting the slits in the crates so I added them to a card for this weeks Global Design Challenge.

 

For the horizontal lines in the  design's background I have used the current In Colors to give a colour gradient effect. The Lovely Words Thinlits provided the 'hugs' die cut sentiment with a spray of  gumnuts from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set. Well I don't really know if they are gumnuts but I have made them gumnuts.

Below are the products I have used for this card. Just click on the photograph and it will take you straight to my store.

Thank you for visiting me today and happy stamping.
