CTC #265 Week 2: Second Release Sale-A-Bration

Hi!

Welcome, and thank you for doing us for our new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. We are mid way though our fortnightly challenge to CASE a project from the Second Release Sale-A-Bration Catalogue.

It's a wee little catalogue, but it's certainly packed with inspiration - sometimes in unexpected places! My card was CASEd from the picture of the Flowering Foils DSP on page 3. The way the papers were arranged in peaks, like mountains, caught my eye.

I simplified quite a bit to only have one set of peaks, but I was really pleased with how it turned out. I cropped three of the largest Stitched rectangle dies, one each of Balmy Blue, Blueberry Bushel and Night Of Navy. I imagine this card would look just as great. in other colours too! The Happy Birthday was heat embossed in Silver.

Here's how I started the layers on the Thick Whisper White card base. I glued the first layer down with Tombow, and then flipped the card to trim the excess away from the back. I then repeated the process with the other two layers. I did lay the three layers over the base first without glue so that I didn't glue the top layer too high, which would leave gaps at the bottom. I hope that makes sense!

The inside was decorated using the offcuts from the front! I was left with very little waste, which always makes me happy!

Our challenge is run through our Facebook group. Pop on over there, after you've finished the hop, of course! You can upload your card and see everyone else's cards. Lots of inspiration to be found!

Next up in the Blog Hop is the lovely Bec. I absolutely adore her purple card - you certainly don't want to miss it!

Bye for now,

Tina
