CTC #226: CASE A Layout

Hi!

Sob! it's Sunday, which means the school holidays are over, but ti also means it's time for this week's CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. Yay! You may have arrived here from Siobhan's blog, or just starting here. It really doesn't matter, just keep hopping 'til you get back to where you started.

This week we are CASEing layouts from the Occasions Catalogue. What does this mean? Simply take a card you like and make a new one based on the placement of all of the elements on the card. Easy!

I decided to CASE the front of the catalogue, treating it like a big card.

I started by using my Stamparatus to create the wreath of flowers on the base. It was a little tricky, as I stamped the Bike Ride image six times (because there are 6 cards on the cover!), but I got it first go! I only used the Stamparatus to stamp the outline, and then the flowers and leaves were stamped by hand.

The punched flowers were created using the Bitty Blooms Punch pack, but I also threw in a few leaves stamped with a leaf from Happy Birthday Gorgeous. After I'd assembled the card I added a scattering of copper sequins to represent the butterflies on the cover.

It wasn't until I was editing these photos that I realised how vintage the colour scheme is. I used Grapefruit Grove, Pear Pizzazz and Soft Suede. I think nearly every kitchen had crockery or bakeware in these colours in the 70's!

I couldn't resist adding another little flower on the inside!

Hopefully I'll see you over in our Facebook group, where you can add your CASEd Layout card to the challenge.

Before you go, though, don't forget to complete the hop! Next up is the lovely Julia.
