Graciellie Design

What are you inspired by? I love delicate patterns and pastel colors... I love to add layers and dimension to a project. I love to inspire others too! All of this things inspire me to create and motivate me to keep on doing what I do. Today I am sharing a card I made with beautiful papers, stamps and dies from Our Daily Bread Designs, using one of the new dies in an unconventional way. I wanted to create a decorative column for the background using various layers. I had been wanting to use the new Pegboard die from ODBD in an unexpected way and what I did is die cut two pegboards and cut about 1/4" from them and then cut one of them in half.

Hi! It's nice to be back with a new project. I have had some ideas in mind for a card, and today I was able to make it. It's actually an accordion card, but it has a little twist, it's made to look like a folding screen.  I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to join some of my favorite challenges, and I went ahead and used some elements to inspire my design: A photo from House of Cards, A color combo from Our Daily Bread (white on white), and a theme from Craft Hoarders Anonymous (fun fold). I decided I wanted to capture the white elements of this image, the basket's lattice and the florals. There so much texture to it. I really like it. Also, I wanted to use a verse stamp from ODBD: "He makes all things beautiful in His time" from the set Faith, because I like it so very much.
