CTC #274: Masculine Cards

Hi!

Sunday evening means that it's time once again for the new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. This week we are taking a close look at the masculine cards in the Annual Catalogue.

I did my usual flick-through from the back of the catalogue, but I got to page 97 before I found a card that I was keen to CASE.

My eye was really caught by the colour scheme, and it also made me realise that it's been ages since I've played with my Stitched Stars Dies. The colours used were Misty Moonlight, Just Jade, Mint Macaron, Daffodil Delight and Silver Foil.

In the original card it was Daffodil Delight peeking through the openings created by the small stars cut into the card base. On my card, I used the Silver Foil behind an opening created by one of the larger star dies. I then used the next two largest stars to crop a narrow frame from Just Jade, which I adhered around the opening.

I was not intending to use Daffodil Delight on my card, but it seemed to work well on this trio of layered stars. A final trio of Misty Moonlight stars finished off the front of the card.

I had quite a few different stars left over - some were inside pieces of frames, others were stars I'd cut by didn't use on the front. The Mint Macaron star is inset into the Just Jade frame, with the Misty Moonlight star layered over the top. Insetting the Mint Macaron star allows more colour, but less bulk, on the inside. Perfect!

As always, our challenge runs through our Facebook Group. It's easy to join, and then you just add your card to the wall with a short explanation. Which of the masculine cards in the Annual Catalogue will you CASE this week? 

Don't go racing off just yet though - please do finish the Hop! Next up is Sandra, with a fun, geometric card. They are always a winner for masculine cards!

Bye for now,

Tina
