CTC #244: Holiday Catalogue Cover

Hi!


Hello! It's time once again for the CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. You may have come from Monique's blog, or you may be starting here. Either way, just keep touring the blogs until you get back to where you started.


This week we are CASEing projects from the front of the Holiday Catalogue. My eye was particularly taken by the wreath card in the Toile Tidings grouping of cards, so that's what I CASEd.

I don't actually have any of the products in that suite, so I had to search my stamp collection for something that would work in place of the wreath. Bloom and Grow fit the bill! I changed the circle to an oval to better suit the flowers, so I switched the orientation of the card too. The flowers were stamped and then I added a few extra of the smaller spray stamps at each end to fill the gaps. I coloured the little circle buds yellow to look a bit like wattle. I wanted to add a little Australian feel to the card.

The Merry die cut was cut four times and stacked. The top is cut in Red Foil and the bottom three layers in Call Me Clover to match the card base. It's a cool effect that looks so much more effective in real life.

I stamped the flowers again on the inside. I'd curved the stamp a little for the front of the card to go around the oval, but I straightened it for the inside.

Don't forget to check out our Facebook group, where you can enter your card in this week's challenge. Which card catches your eye from the front cover?


That's it for me, so now you're off to see what the lovely Peta has created. I wonder what hijinks Marvi has been up to this week?


Bye for now,

Tina

  2. Gorgeous as always, Tina. I love how you've switched this up from the catty version. I particulary love the stacked sentiment die in the two colours. It is such a great effect.

  3. Absolutely love this, Tina and such a great CASE. Amazing how a non-Christmas set can still look so Christmas-y!

  4. What a great choice of stamp to substitute for the wreath. I love how you’ve created the card using non-Christmas stamps. Stunning
