Hello and welcome to my blog.  It’s Sunday night again and that means another CASEing the Catty Blog Hop.  You may have arrived here from Rachel’s gorgeous creation, thanks for continuing on with me.  Make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of each post.

This week we are CASEing a layout from page 151 of the Annual Catalogue.  There’s just 5 projects to choose from on this page so it will be interesting to see what everyone creates.

I’ve chosen the card with the fish on it, in the middle of the bottom row.

I’ve started with a Blackberry Bliss card base then a layer of Mossy Meadow that’s been run through the Subtle Embossing Folder.  I’ve die cut an almost complete circle from the Mossy Meadow piece then layered a piece of Perennial Essence DSP behind it.

I’ve die cut some Vellum leaves using the Frosted Bouquet Framelits Dies and adhered them behind my flower.  The flower is from the Healing Hugs stamp set and I’ve stamped it in Blackberry Bliss.  I’ve also stamped a second flower and fussy cut the centre of the flower and layered it over the first flower.

I’ve used the Wink of Stella over my flower and it’s blended the white areas of the flower and made them pink.  I’ve also added some Leaf Ribbon leaves and some Woven Threads Sequins.

I just love these beautiful rich colours together.  I think Marvi does too.

Hello and welcome to my blog.  It’s Sunday night again and that means another CASEing the Catty Blog Hop.  You may be starting with me this week or you’ve arrived here from Lauren’s gorgeous creation.  Make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of each post.

This week we are CASEing from the Love, Thanks and Support section of the Annual Catalogue, pages 72-97.

I’ve chosen the card on the right hand side of page 87.  I’m not sure why this card stood out to me because if I’m brutally honest, I don’t really like it, it’s just a tad too busy for me.  Sorry, am I allowed to say that?

So I thought I would create a more simplified version using the same stamp set but different colours.

My card base is Basic Black with a layer of Pretty Peacock.  I’ve stamped the image from Beauty Abounds in Black Memento Ink, directly onto some Whisper White card stock.  I’ve used all 3 colours from the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets (they are so pretty) and die cut the leaves and butterfly using the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits Dies.

There’s 3 layers to my butterfly, vellum coloured with a Stampin’ Write Marker, Whisper White and Blueberry Bushel Foil Sheet.  The sentiment has been die cut with a Rectangle Stitched Framelit.

My assistant Marvi was on hand for a quick photo.  He’s been a bit naughty lately, especially during my classes.  He likes to sit where everyone is trying to work and he supervises all the die cutting.

Hello and welcome to my blog.  Happy EOFY everyone, it’s a busy time of year for me working in an Accountants Office but I’m not too busy to join in with the very talented crew from CASEing the Catty.  This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing from page 159 of the Annual Catalogue.  If you check your catalogue you’ll see there is only one card on this page!!!   Wait until you see the many ways we’ve all interpreted this card.

You may have arrived here from Sandra’s gorgeous creation, thanks for continuing on with me.  Make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of each post.

I’ve kept my card fairly similar to the sample this week, using the same layout and colours.

My card base is Night of Navy and my stripey background is created with Night of Navy, Seaside Spray and Purple Posy ink.  I’ve used the Bouncing Brayer technique for this panel, it’s an old technique but also really easy.  Patrice Halliday-Larsen has a great Youtube video showing this technique.  I’ve die cut a stitched line down the right hand side of this piece using the die from Stitched Nested Labels.

I’ve used the sentiment and dandelion image from Dandelion Wishes.  I’ve added a little Wink of Stella to my dandelion but you really can’t see it in the photo.

Marvi is back to posing for photos although by the look on his face I’m not sure if he’s happy about it or not.
