This week at the Global Design Project we are CASEing ‘the King’ – the very lovely and talented US demo, Brian King. I have always been a big fan of Brian’s style and am sure his cards have influenced many of my creations. This week I have cased his gorgeous card by creating a Lilypad Lake Diorama Card. Here is Brian’s original card.
So we can take what we like from the original design and make it our own. It could be the stamp set – the colours, the layout, the theme, the images – whatever we like really. For my card, I have used the colours, Basic Black, Pear Pizzazz and Blushing Bride just like Brian. I also used Brian’s basic layout with an ombre background and a focal image to the left.
Tips and Tricks for my Lilypad Lake Diorama Card
- Take two pieces of Basic Black cardstock both measuring the size of your basic card front.
- Punch each of the 8 corners using the Detailed Trio punch (launching June 1st)
- Score twice on the short side of the cardstock at 3/4 and 1 inch in then die cut an oval from one piece. Fold one scoreline mountain and one valley.
- Cut a piece of Whisper White 9cm square and stamp the water stamp ascending three times without reinking. Adhere to one of the Basic Black pieces.
- Stamp, colour and die-cut all the extra pieces and assemble

This card is gorgeous, Eimear! I love that you chose black as the base of the card – really adds to the calmness. Love! Thanks for playing along with my CASE the Designer at GDP this week.
