Thanks for joining me for the new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. Did you join me from Rebecca's blog, or are you starting here? It doesn't matter, just keep moving around the blog hop until you get back to where you started.
This week we are not only CASEing the colours of the Garden Lane DSP, we are also CASEing cards from the Annual Catalogue that feature the suite. I had a look, and my eye was caught by the Memories and More card in this photo from page 39:
I don't have much of the two 'Lane' suites, apart from the Magnolia DSP, so I had to improvise a little! Instead of using a magnolia bloom, I switched it out for a butterfly.
I kept the layout of the M&M card, I just made it full card size. The butterfly was stamped and coloured in the same way as the magnolia on the card. I just used my Petal Pink Blends to colour the very inner bit of each section of the wings. It gives it such a soft, pretty look.
The bottom of the card looked too square and harsh, even after I'd added the butterfly. To soften it, I used my Leaf punch to crop some leaves from Vellum. I then coloured each one using my Dark Soft Sea Foam Blend and tucked them under the butterfly.
As the butterfly was a huge feature of the front of the card, I used it again on the inside. This time I just stamped it in second generation Petal Pink ink to keep it nice and soft.
The Design team have made a fabulous range of cards this week for our challenge. What will you make? You can add your card to our Facebook group. I ca't wait to see it!
In the meantime though, don't forget to finish the hop! Next on the list is the lovely Michelle.
Bye for now,
Tina
