CTC# 212: Sale-A-Bration

Hi!

It's the end of another busy week, which makes it time for the CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop!

I do love a good blog hop! The blog before mine belongs to the talented Judy May. You may have started there, or anywhere on the hop - it doesn't matter. Just keep on hopping until you get back to where you started. Hopefully by the end you'll be inspired to enter out challenge.

This week we are back to CASEing the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. It's got heaps of great cards, so it was hard to narrow it down to just one. I CASEd a card from the front cover last time, so I decided to head for the back of the catalogue for inspiration this time. I decided I's CASE this card, from the bottom of page 18.

I don't have the Lasting Lily stamp set, but a few days ago I saw a card on the FB, where a demonstrator had punched some daisies from the Gingham Gala DSP. I was keen to give it a go, so this card seemed like a great way to do it.

I used the coordinating Daisy Delight stamp set to create the stem of the daisy. I don't like the tiny little leaves on the stem, so I just used a marker to ink the stem part. I then used the larger leaf stamp and the filler stamp to add the leaves. Much better proportions!

The daisy centre needed a little something, so I added this huge (retired) Iced Rhinestone. I think it finishes off the card quite nicely! How cute does the gingham daisy look? I just can't get enough of this DSP!

I often use 3 layers on my daisies, but this time it didn't look right. I'd already punched the third daisy, so I decided to use it on the inside rather than waste it. I just snipped it in half, layered it, and glued to it to corner of the cardstock, trimming it to fit.

That's it for me, now you're off to visit Siobhan's blog to see what fun she's had with the SAB Catalogue.

Don't forget to also pop by our Facebook group, where you can add your card to this week's challenge.  See you there!

Bye for now,

Tina
