Ribbon of Courage for GDP137

I love a simple design with just a touch of something special. This week’s sketch for the Global Design Project gave me the honor to create something beautiful with the Ribbon of Courage Bundle and a couple of new products from Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Annual Catalog. Here’s my card:

And here’s the banner for the challenge that inspired my card:Tips, Tricks and Reminders

• Ribbon of Courage & Rooted in Nature Bundles. The Ribbon of Courage stamp and Rooted in Nature stamp sets don’t seem like they’d be perfectly suited for each other, but there’s a connection – and it’s a strong one. First, here’s the Ribbon of Courage bundle (while the set and coordinating dies carry forward into Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Annual Catalog, the bundled savings of 10% off goes away on May 31): The Rooted in Nature Bundle (available in Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Annual Catalog) features gorgeous trees and leaves, but there are also some amazing sentiments. I pulled “BE STRONG” (a sentiment that’s always perfect with a courage ribbon) from the trio of “BE STRONG, BE HAPPY, BE YOU” sentiment. I love that trio, but I especially love it here. Go ahead – put this bundle on your wish list from the new catalog. Here’s a look at Rooted in Nature:
• Laser-Cut Specialty Papers. Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Annual Catalog introduces us to some amazing laser-cut papers that are pretty spectacular. The Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper includes eight 12″x12″ sheets (4 each of two designs). Here’s a look at the designs in this pack of papers:One side of the paper is Whisper White, and the other side of the paper is Very Vanilla. Yay! I used one of the tiny strips (shown at the top of the image below) to add the small, scalloped border below my focal panel. That little detail makes a big difference. Here’s a closer look:
• Soft Colors. I used Stampin’ Write Markers to color the flowers, hearts, leaves and flourishes inside the ribbon with a mix of Powder Pink, Sahara Sand, Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lime Twist. If you like this combination of Whisper White, Powder Pink and Sahara Sand, please save this:
