How exciting, "Case the Designer" is the theme for the Global Design Project this week. If you are not famililar with this type of challenge, you basically get to choose what inspires you on the card provided and go from there, eg Colour, Stamp Set, Layout, Theme etc There are so many elements to choose from, I decided on Colour for my inspiration/challenge as Neutral tones - something I haven't done before, but with the familiarity of the Wondrous Wreath stamp set: Here is the card that Louise Sharp provided for our inspiration this week: I purchased the Wondrous Wreath Bundle as my first SU Bundle - I love it.  It is so easy to use, and I had never thought of using neutral tones until I saw Louise's card. I made a card similar to this several weeks ago in frosty Christmas colours; but WOW, I was blown away by how this turned out in Neutrals.
