Hello, and welcome back! I hope you're all coping well with the new social restrictions. It might be difficult but it's so important! My household is bunkered down, and so far so good! But anyway, on with the reason why you're here - the new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop! We are starting a new challenge this fortnight, just in time for Easter!
All you need to do is create an Easter project using our sketch to guide you! Easy!
I don't usually make Easter cards, so I actually found this one a little difficult!
I started by colouring the flowers from Flowering Foils. I'd fussy cut them a couple of weeks ago, which was very handy! I used Soft Sea Foam, Petal Pink and So Saffron Stampin' Blends, as I wanted a soft colour palette. I just coloured quickly, no blending, but using both Light and Dark markers.
The flowers became my rectangular element, as I cut an oval from the Soft Sea Foam So Very Vellum SDSP pack. It's very subtle, but that's how I wanted it to be. Speaking of subtle, I nearly reached for my Subtle 3DEF for the background, but them I recalled the Country Floral 3DEF, which I haven't used for ages! It fit the floral theme nicely.
I cropped the vellum oval for the front from a larger piece of Vellum, with the intention of using the left over piece on the inside. The writing panel was coped from the largest Stitched So Sweetly die. Do you remember the sentiments I've used? They are from a long retired set, called Well Scripted. I don't have any current Easter sentiments, so I had to reach into my retired stamp sets!
Our challenges are run through our Facebook group, so please pop on over there to join in with the fun. It's easy to join if you aren't already part of the group. When you've made your card, just add your picture to the group.
But now it's time to continue on with the Hop. Next up is the fabulous Judy May with her gorgeous card.
Bye for now,
Tina
