CTC 406: Love and Valentine's

 Hi!

Welcome back to my blog for the new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, we are asking you to CASE a love or Valentine's project from any of the three current catalogues.

There's a lot of projects to choose from, especially in the Mini Catalogue. I found this card towards the back of the Mini on page 74. It shows some of the carry over items from the pervious Mini Catalogue.

I really liked the grouping of three houses with the layering underneath. I don't really make love cards, so I decided to make a birthday card instead.

I recently received some of the Sale-A-Bration Favoured Flowers DSP, and decided to use some of the flowers instead of the houses. I roughly cut the flowers and then glued them to Basic Black cardstock before fussy cutting. LOL, I just realised that I've left off the circular layer. Oops! 

The layers of flowers and DSP were adhered over some Blackberry Bliss cardstock, dry embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3DEF. The position of the leaves on the larger flower didn't suit my design, so I snipped them off and repositioned them. The DSP makes this easy, as there is a deep shadow in the design that makes it easy to snip the leaves without leaving evidence of them around the edge of the flower. I hope that makes sense!

I used a partial flower from the edge of the DSP on the inside of my card. The sentiments are from Simply Fabulous, one of my favourite stamp sets for sentiments.

We'd love for you to play along with our Love themed challenge. You don't actually need to make a love card, just use one as the basis for your card, as I have done. When you've made it, just add a photo to our Facebook Group.

For now though, please do continue your way around our blog hop. There's lots more love inspiration to see, starting with my lovely friend, Rachel Palmieri. Her card is gorgeous!

Bye for now,

Tina
