CTC# 215: Sale-A-Bration

Hi!

Welcome to the Sunday evening CASEing The Catty Blog Hop. The blog before mine was the lovely Monique's. Did you start there, here or somewhere else? Doesn't matter - just keep hopping until you get back to where you started.

Tonight we are CASEing the Sale-A-Bration catalogues - that's right, there are two catalogues now! Did you know that the second release products are now available to customers? They are gorgeous! Mine did not arrive in time for tonight's card, so I have CASEd a colour combo from the new SAB brochure.

The colours in this card really caught my eye - it's a masculine combo that is still quite light and fresh. I saw Balmy Blue, Night Of Navy, Smoky Slate, So Saffron, Whisper White and Silver Foil.

To make my card I simply took strips of the four main colours and trimmed them to the same width as the card base. I used scraps of card, so none of them are the same height as any of the others. I like the random look - do you?

I used some Silver Foil card for the sentiment. It adds a fun touch to the card, I think. The rest of the sentiment was from the new Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set. I simply trimmed the two words I wanted after I'd stamped the whole sentiment.

For the inside I used the same cardstock to create the stripes, they are just half the height of the ones I used on the front. Do you decorate the insides of your cards? To me they don't look finished until I do!

That's it for me tonight, you can join in the fun over at the Facebook group. No need for anything fancy, just join the group and start uploading your cards for each challenge.

For now, though, you're off to the lovely Shannon's blog, where she's got some wonderful SAB inspiration for you.

Bye for now,

Tina
