CTC 382: Sale-A-Bration Sketch

 Hi!

Welcome back for a new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. I find these hops a lovely way to finish off the weekend, don't you?

This week we are asking you to CASE a card from page 10 of the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue, using our sketch as a guide.

Here's a closer look at the sketch. The main features are the strong vertical line, and the shaped layer on top.

I had a stamping day with a couple of friends recently, and took the opportunity to crop a few shapes from the Gnomes Dies. Silly me, I had in my head that they were dwarves, so my card was based around the idea of a dwarf in a mine - I've recently re-read the Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings books. It was only when I went looking for the names of the dies to write my post that I realise they are meant to be gnomes. Oops! 

I cut the gnome pieces in white, so that I could make them any colour I wanted. I just coloured the die cuts with my Stampin' Blends markers. The background DSP is from Lovely Linen. I thought it worked well for the rustic clothing that a dwarf might wear.

The sentiments are from Amazing Phrasing, an awesome SAB choice from this round's offerings.

We'd love for you to play along with us this week for our Sketch challenge. I can't wait to see what you make, and to enter all you need to do is post a photo of your card in our Facebook Group.

Don't forget to finish our blog hop, though! The next stop along with way is the lovely Julia Quinn, who has made a stunning Christmas card. Don't miss it!

Bye for now,

Tina
