CTC #289: CASE a Halloween Project

 Hi!


Welcome back for the new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. This week we are asking you to CASE a Halloween Project from either of the catalogues.


After a quick flick through both catalogues, I settled on this card from the August-December Mini Catalogue. I really liked the simplicity, and I'm a real sucker for a flicked ink background!


If you're like me, and don't do Halloween, you can still join in - you just need to be inspired by a card. It could be the colours, or a technique, or the layout, it does not have to be the theme. I changed the theme to make a Christmas card.

My card ended up not looking like the owl card at all! There are still elements of it, though. The flicked background became a Glimmer Paper sky. The moon turned into a house, and the sentiment banner became a sentiment strip. And if I really want to stretch it, there are trees on both cards, LOL.

Each of the elements were stamped using the Coming Home stamp set, coloured with Blends and then cropped using the Home Together Dies. I finished the front of the card with a sentiment cropped from the Trimming The Town DSP.

The inside was completed with left overs from the front of the card - an extra little strip of Glimmer Paper trimmed from the front and a few extra trees that I'd coloured but not used. The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Christmas. 

Our challenge is run though our Facebook group, which means that you don't need a blog to enter. Just make your card and upload a picture in the group. Easy! Which Halloween project will you choose to CASE - and how will you choose to CASE it? All the big questions this week!


Next up is the wonderful Siobhan, I wonder which direction she has gone with her Halloween CASEing? Only one way to find out - hop on over to her blog!

Bye for now,

Tina
