CTC 378: Love, Thanks & Support

 Hi!

Hello, and thanks for finishing off your weekend with the CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. Isn't it a great way to end the week?


This week we have jumped back to the Annual Catalogue, and are asking you to CASE a card from the Love, Thanks & Support section, which runs from pages 56 to 77.


I started at the back of the section, and quickly found this beauty to CASE. I loved the soft colours of the flowers, and the DSP backing, all on a fresh, white card base. I don't own the stamp set, used, so I reached for my retired Bouquet Of Hope Paper Pumpkin stamp set, which has a lovely, big bouquet image.

I think that the style of the image is similar to that on the catalogue sample, don't you agree? I coloured it with my Blends from the Subtles colour family. I made the largest flowers Highland Heather, to coordinate with the paper from the retired Sweet Talk DSP.

I wanted the flowers to pop a little more from the background, so I layered them over a vellum heart. I cropped the vellum using the retired Stitched be Mine Dies.

The sentiments on the card are from Grace's Garden, which is a (you guessed it) retired stamp set. I've used a lot of retired stuff on my card, which I didn't realise until I was writing this post! It definitely makes sense to use your stash when CASEing - you don't always have to have the exact products.

Now it's your turn! Which project from the Love, Thanks & Support section will you CASE? Once you've made your card, all you need to do is add a photo to our Facebook group before next Sunday's blog hop. I can't wait to see what you make!


It's time now to jump on over to the next blog in our hop, which is the lovely Sandra Collett. I wonder which card she's CASEd?

Bye for now,

Tina

  3. I love your take on the original Tina. The beauty of a CASE is that you can mix it up and use different products. I love how this challenge stretches the imagination.
