CTC #234: Pressed Petals DSP

Hi!


Hello, and welcome to the new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge. As always, we are CASEing projects from the Stampin' Up! Catalogue, but this year we are trying some new twists on our challenges. Did you see Sandra's gorgeous project? If not, you will eventually, just keep hopping!


So the twist this week is to CASE the colours in the Pressed Petals DSP. There are a heap of colours to choose from, so it should be an easy task. The hardest part will be choosing which colours to use! If you don't have your catalogue handy, you can see them listed in the graphic above. I chose Mossy Meadow, Night Of Navy and the new Rococo Rose for my card.

I was in the mood for some watercolouring, so after stamping my stems in Mossy Meadow on some Shimmery White cardstock, I used my Aqua Painter and some fairly diluted Night Of Navy to create a background for the flowers. I am very much a rough watercolourer, so I'm not too fussy about getting the colour exactly around the stems. In fact, I deliberately stayed away so that I didn't accidentally pull some of the Mossy Meadow into the Night Of Navy.

The daisies were stamped in Rococo Rose and fussy cut before being popped up over the top using Dimensionals. I quite like this sweet little flower from the Daisy Lane set - it's a bit overlooked in the excitement of a the smaller daisy flower that coordinates with the new punch, I think!

I repeated the design on a smaller scale for the inside. Shimmery White is the perfect cardstock for this type of watercolouring, as it doesn't pill with the application of water. It's also a bit more cost effective than watercolour paper!

That's it for me this week. Don't forget to check out our Facebook group, where you can see what others have made for the challenges and add your own project to the mix. What colours do you like from this week's list?


As ever, don't forget to finish the hop first - there's lots of inspiration to be found. Next up is Rose.


Bye for now,

Tina

  1. I'm loving your not quite precise watercolouring. It's so much more artistic! Gorgeous card and I think I'll have to use this little daisy now! It has certainly been overlooked!

  3. Such a pretty choice of colours from this week's palette and beautifully used. The watercolouring of NoN looks so soft and pretty, what a great effect. As always I love the attention you've paid to the inside of the card as well.
