CTC #260 Week 2: January July Mini Catalogue

Hi!

Welcome back to Week Two of the first CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge for 2020! As I mentioned last week, we have switched to running each challenge over two weeks, with a new blog hop each Sunday as usual. That means you get twice the inspiration for each challenge! Speaking of inspiring, the blog before mine was the fabulous Rebecca's, and you can find the link to the next blog at the end of my post.

This week continues with CASEing any project from the January-June Mini Catalogue. There's so much to choose from! Last week I CASEd a card fairly closely, so this week I went looking for a technique to CASE. I didn't have to go far!

This beauty is on page 3, and uses a watercolour wash on the die cut background. It's such a fun technique, so I was very keen to give it a try!

I don't have the Heart To Heart bundle, so instead I used my Springtime Impressions Dies. I started by washing Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana, Mango Melody and Flirty Flamingo over a piece of Watercolour Paper. Once it dried, I cropped it using the butterfly die.

The rest of the card is just layers of Basic Black cardstock and Follow Your Art DSP. I love how the DSP mimics the look of the butterfly, without all the effort! You might also be able to see that I embossed the largest black layer with the Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder.

I used a couple of DSP offcuts to add to the side of the writing panel on the inside. Just a slither - any more takes away from the watercolour wash look from the butterfly.

Have you made your card and posted it to our Facebook group in the last week? If not, you still have another week - get to it! LOL!

For now though, it's time to hop on over to the wonderful Siobhan's blog. Give a little 'rawr!' as you go!

Bye for now,

Tina
