Thanks for joining me for the new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. Did you join me from Rebecca's blog, or are you starting here? It doesn't matter, just keep moving around the blog hop until you get back to where you started.
This week we are not only CASEing the colours of the Garden Lane DSP, we are also CASEing cards from the Annual Catalogue that feature the suite. I had a look, and my eye was caught by the Memories and More card in this photo from page 39:
I don't have much of the two 'Lane' suites, apart from the Magnolia DSP, so I had to improvise a little! Instead of using a magnolia bloom, I switched it out for a butterfly.
I kept the layout of the M&M card, I just made it full card size. The butterfly was stamped and coloured in the same way as the magnolia on the card. I just used my Petal Pink Blends to colour the very inner bit of each section of the wings. It gives it such a soft, pretty look.
The bottom of the card looked too square and harsh, even after I'd added the butterfly. To soften it, I used my Leaf punch to crop some leaves from Vellum. I then coloured each one using my Dark Soft Sea Foam Blend and tucked them under the butterfly.
As the butterfly was a huge feature of the front of the card, I used it again on the inside. This time I just stamped it in second generation Petal Pink ink to keep it nice and soft.
The Design team have made a fabulous range of cards this week for our challenge. What will you make? You can add your card to our Facebook group. I ca't wait to see it!
In the meantime though, don't forget to finish the hop! Next on the list is the lovely Michelle.
Bye for now,
Tina
The vellum leaves under the butterfly is a brilliant idea! It really gives a wonderful framework for your card. Gorgeous
ReplyDeleteI love the butterfly repeated so softly on the inside, and your curved doucle feature at the topp fo the front panel is really striking. Great CASE.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Tina, I love the coloured vellum leaves under you butterfly.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous, Tina. I love everything about it, your beautiful colouring and the vellum touches in particular. As always I love the way you beautify the inside of the card as well. You inspire me to pay more attention that on my own cards :P
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Tina. You are fabulous at improvising! x
ReplyDeleteLove it Tina! Gorgeous card. Super colouring on the butterfly and the Mossy Meadow really sets it off. I had to go hunting for the inside butterfly but that is a fun idea and really does finish it off.
ReplyDeleteI love how you’ve coloured the inside of each section of the butterfly and the subtle vellum leaves finish off the card nicely.
ReplyDeleteOh love the way you coloured the butterfly like a magnolia. Love all the details.
