Hello, and welcome once again to the CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. I'm the first stop on this week's blog hop, so you may have come here from our Facebook group, or you may have come from Judy's blog. Either way, just keep hopping until you get back to where you started!
This fortnight we are CASEing the colours of the Kerchief Card Kit. There are a heap of colours (Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana, Early Espresso, Gold, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Petal Pink, Pear Pizzazz, Poppy Parade, White), so there are lots and lots of options. I recently received the card kit, and so I pulled it out to inspire some creativity. I naturally lean towards blues, so this week's cards focus on that side of the palette. I thought it would be pretty to punch some butterflies from the floral part of the card, and that naturally led to making a paid of Floating Frame cards.
Have you tried your hand at Floating Frame cards yet? They were all the rage about a year ago, and I haven't made one for a while. I punched as many butterflies as I could from the front of the pre-stamped card. I was so right about the butterflies looking pretty in the floral print!
This first card features most of the butterflies. The Press 'n' Seal pulled off a bit of the top layer as I peeled it away, but I decide to just go with the distressed look to some of the butterflies. I cut a Stitched Circle and layered it under a Subtle embossed layer for my sentiment. The gaps in the front were filled with gold sequins.
A couple of spare butterflies were used to finish off the inside.
The second card uses the butterflies cut from the centre of the first card. A larger gold Stitched Circle layers underneath, and the background is embossed sing the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. A Sentiment from Label Me Bold finished off the front of the card.
I had run out of Kerchief butterflies, so I used a gold one to complete the inside, LOL!
You have two weeks to get your card made and entered into our challenge. It's super easy - just photograph your card and post it to our Facebook group. Done!
Now it's time for you to hop on over to Michelle's blog. Au revoir 😉
Bye for now,
Tina
How pretty do those butterflies look! I love the gold as well, it really dresses it up.
ReplyDeleteLove it when you get two cards out of one! Punching the kerchief card looks amazing! So pretty and soft. And the gold touches are so perfect!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Tina 😘
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards Tina, I love the butterflies punched from the floral piece of the card kit, such a clever idea.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love your floating frame cards. I love how you have used the card to punch out the butterflies. They look great.
ReplyDeleteSuch a clever way to create two stunning cards out of one. The blue floral butterflies look stunning and what a smart way to make so many at once. Just love the way these blues look together with the white and gold touches. Fabulous, as always!!
