CTC #269 W1: CASE Your Favourite Retiring Bundle

Hi!

Thanks for joining me once again for the new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. Did you arrive from Sandra's blog, with her sweet daisy card? Or are you starting here? Either way, just keep on hopping until you get back to where you started.

This week we are CASEing our favourite Retiring Bundle. I chose the Tropical Chic bundle, which actually retired as a bundle a year ago, but is being completely retired at the end of the current Annual Catalogue.

I loved all of the leaves in the stamps and dies, great for creating a big impact on your card.

I started by creating the background for my card, which is just the Granny Apple Green Pigment Sprinkles on Thick Whisper White card. I used a lot of water, so that I could get a soft, nearly bokeh-like effect.

I stamped the leaves and flowers with Granny Apple Green, Garden Green and Melon Mambo on WW card, and then cropped them with the Tropical Dies. I then layered them on then card front, with a little swirl of Rose Metallic Thread between the leaves and flowers. A few Iridescent Sequins finished off the card front.

I used the same arrangement of leaves and flowers as the front on the inside of the card, except I omitted the thread and pulled it closer to the corner so that there is more room to write a message.

So what is your favourite Retiring Bundle from the Catalogues? It can be from either catalogue, so there's plenty to choose from! When you've made your card, just add a photograph of it to the wall in our Facebook group. Easy!

That's all from me this week, so now you're off to see Marvi, with Peta Stephen and her 'magnifique' card!

Bye for now,

Tina
