CTC #305: CASE The Sketch

 Hi!


Welcome back for the new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. It's the end of quite a busy week for me, so it's a nice relaxing way to finish off the week, cruising around all the blogs to see what everyone made.


This week we are giving you a sketch to CASE, based on this super cute Darling Donkeys card. LOL, the rose in his mouth is very apt, as it's Valentine's Day today.
I must confess that I've cheated a little with my card today. I was meant to be in a 'Love' Blog Hop on Thursday night, but I got part way through the card and ran out of time, so I had to withdraw. I realised that it worked perfectly for the sketch, so I was already half done for CTC. Yay!

So instead of the three stripes, I have my row of hearts. It's such a fun die from the Stitched be Mine Dies. I had to hand place each of the hearts back into the outline, as they all fell out of the die and ended up in a jumble. It was worth the effort though, as just using the outline would have got a bit lost in the DSP, which is from the Berry Blessings SAB bundle.

Instead of using a rectangle over the top, I went for a series of layered circles, from both the Layering Circles Dies and the Stitched Shapes Dies. The text is from the Love You More Than Dies, and the strawberry is from the cute Sweet Strawberry Bundle.

The inside strawberries required quite a bit of masking. I'd only planned to mask off the leaves at the top, but I accidentally stamped the first two too close to each other, so I had to mask off the strawberry as well. Worth the extra effort though!

Our challenge is run though our Facebook group, so you don't need a blog to enter. Just snap a photo of your card based on the sketch and add it to the group before the deadline. Easy!


The hop continues on with the lovely Julia Quinn. Her card is gorgeous - you won't want to miss it!


Bye for now,

Tina

  2. Great use of the rows of hearts for the strips. A shame you didn’t get it down in time for the other challenge but glad you could use it for this one.
