CTC #257: Kids And Babies

Hi!


Welcome to the new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop! This is our third last challenge of 2019, and we'd love to see you enter. You don't need a blog or anything fancy, you just need to upload a photo of your card into our Facebook Group. Easy!


This week we are back to CASEing from the Annual Catalogue, specifically the Kids and Babies section from page 98-105. I had a bit of a flick though and settled on this gift bag from page 104. I have been doing a lot of watercolouring lately, and the no-line colouring technique was what I decided to CASE.


I recently received the new stamp set, Little Ladybug. It is a reward during Sale-A-Bration in 2020 for achieving a set level of sales, either individually or for hosting a party. It's so cute, and perfect for colouring.

I started by stamping the center flower in stamped off Sahara Sand, and then masked it to stamp the other two flowers. The ladybird was also stamped in Sahara Sand, stamped off first. I used my Stamparatus for all stamping, as I was stamping on watercolour paper, which can sometimes take a few goes to get an even image.

I used my Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, Early Espresso and Garden Green Watercolour Pencils to outline the images and my Aqua Painter to pull in the colour from the outlines. The ladybird was coloured with my Early Espresso, Basic Black and Real Red pencils, but I did end up using my Real Red ink pad for the wings, as I just wasn't getting the depth of colour I wanted with the pencils. I also used my Balmy Blue ink pad to colour the sky.

Rather than watercolour paper for the inside, which is hard to write on, I used Shimmery White cardstock. It colours beautifully and is smooth for writing, so it's winning all round! This flower is Real Red, with an Early Espresso centre and a Garden Green stem/leaves.

That's it from me, so please continue on with the hop by clicking on the next button. Don't forget to add your Kids and Babies CASE card to our Facebook page!


Next is the lovely Rebecca, with her gorgeous floral card.


Bye for now,

  6. Beautiful colouring, Tina. I love the way you've framed it with the red and white spots and your choice of the square format. Really makes it look like a little artwork.
