CTC 309: Mini Catalogue Bundles

Hi!

Thanks for joining me once again for the new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. This week we are asking you to CASE a card from the Bundles Section of the Jan-June Mini Catalogue.

There were quite a few cards through the section that appealed to me, but as soon as I saw this card, I knew it was the one!

I loved the blended background with the silhouette-type images over the top. I was recently invited to a birthday party for a friend who, before COVID, travelled regularly to Bali. I thought that this was a great opportunity to make a Bali-ish card for her.

I wanted the look of a Bali sunset, so I started with some Whisper White card and used my Blending Brushes to apply ink to the card. From top to bottom I used Daffodil Delight, Purple Posy, Blueberry Bushel and Night Of Navy. I then used my Friendly Silhouette Dies to cut the palm trees and horizon line.

I used a dry Aqua Painter to flick some Frost White Shimmer paint over the top - hopefully it looks like stars just starting to appear in the night sky. Finally, I popped the whole piece up on a Basic Black card base.

I replicated the scene on the inside, except that I used stamped palm trees from Friend Like You. I also dotted the stars on with a white gel pen instead of the flicked paint.

So, what do you think? Bali at sunset? I hope so!

As always, you can join in with our challenge through our Facebook group. Just post a photo of your project in the group. It really is that easy!

Next up in this week's blog hop is the lovely Peta. Her card is stunning, and uses a die set that I am trying to resist buying. She's making it very difficult for me!

Bye for now,

Tina
