Gee, these Sunday evenings seem to roll around very quickly! Maybe it's just because it's nearly the end of the weekend that they seem to sneak up on us? Regardless, it's time for the new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop.
This week we are reverting back to one week long challenges, and the challenge this week is to CASE any project involving flowers from the Annual Catalogue. As ever, I started at the back of the catalogue, and got as far as page 132 before I found a card that I wanted to CASE.
I really liked the multicolour die cut, which in the sample was created by cropping some cardstock with the flower die and then using one of the new Water Brushes to apply the colour to the die cut. It allows you to target each area and colour accordingly. I was short on time this week, and not having the time to colour and wait for it to dry, I opted to use DSP to get a similar affect.
I had to use the retired Lily Impressions DSP, as none of the new DSP packs that I own had enough of the colour variation I required to achieve the look. I selected a paper that had quite a lot of colour and used the bottom layer of the Many Layered Blossoms Dies to crop it. I then cropped the top layer using plain Whisper White card, and adhered it over the top. The Adhesive Sheets made this very easy, and way less messy than liquid glue!
The blooms were popped up over a Blackberry Bliss card base using Black Dimenisonals. The Ornate Frames Die label was a bit of a nod to the original card - it had a strip of contrasting colour down each side of the card.
For the inside, I cropped a small section of the die with the same DSP, but then I used Blackberry Bliss for the top layer, as Whisper White would not have stood out enough on the WW writing panel. The stamped sentiment is from Itty Bitty Birthdays, as is the front sentiment.
You can join in our challenge each week by adding your card to the wall in our Facebook Group. All are welcome, no blog or fancy editing required! We'd love for more people to join in the fun - the more the merrier!
Before you go check it out, though, don't forget to finish the Hop! Next you're off to see what my good friend, Judy, has made. She's a fabulous gardener, so floral cards are right up her alley!
Bye for now,
Tina
LOOOOVE the colours from the paper peeking through on the die cut, and the contrast of white and then Blackberry inside are just awesome. What a wonderful card.
ReplyDeleteWow, the colours in this are beautiful. I love the little peak of colour. You always decorate the inside of your cards really well and this is no exception. Just gorgeous
ReplyDeleteYou totally fooled me Tina. I was sure it was watercolours until I read your blog. What a wonderful way to use up retired dsp for a wonderful card.💜
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. What a stroke of genius to use that DSP, it looks stunning. I am really being talked into this bundle by gorgeous projects such as this. Thanks for being an enabler!!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great idea to use the DSP to give the multi-coloured look. I like both the white and the Blackberry Bliss top layers. Amazing card for someone who was short on time!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Tina, this DSP really is the perfect choice. I love it inside and out.
ReplyDeleteWow that is absolutely beautiful!! So much easier to use DSP than to make a watercoloured background. I was trying not to buy this bundle, but you make me want to get it!!
ReplyDeleteReally like the card, turned out beautifully
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful card. It just jumped out at me on Pinterest! Thanks for sharing!
