CTC #222: Sale-A-Bration

Hi!


Time for the new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. You may have come to my blog from my friend  Judy May, or you may be starting here. Doesn't matter - just keep hopping until you get back to where you started.


This week we are CASEing the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue for the last time. Sniff! SAB ends today, so I hope you got lots of lovely freebies from the promotion. I sure did!


This week my inspiration came from the front cover of the catalogue - to be more specific, the background photo on the first release catalogue. I love the unfocussed shot of balloons, and after looking at the card bases in the Incredible Like You kit, I realised that one of the bases had a similar look. It's the card that you'd usually put the citrus laser cut paper over.

Instead of popping the laser cut paper over the top, I cropped a piece of vellum with my Rectangle Stitched Framelits and adhered that over the top. It softened the colourful circles and made them look more like the cover.

The layering on the front was made using the bits from the kit that would normally go with this card. As I have done on other cards recently, I also used a wooden butterfly, but I went over the top of it with my Silver Sharpie. It was then glued over the top of the silver edged circle label that came with the kit. The bottom piece was cropped from some Grapefruit Grove Cardstock with my Everyday Label punch, to which I added a strip of Silver foil top and bottom.

While I had the Silver Foil handy, I cropped some small butterflies using my Butterfly Duet Punch. I love the way they look fluttering around the inside sentiment.

That's it fr me for this week. Don't forget to join our Facebook group so that you can participate in the challenges each week. We'd love to have you!


For now though, don't forget to finish the Blog Hop. Next is the lovely Sandra Collett.


Bye for now,

Tina
