Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we have a sketch challenge. CASE the sketch on page 72 of the Annual Catty. You may have hopped over from Julia’s blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of each post.
Here’s the card broken down into a sketch.
I’ve used this sketch challenge to make my first Christmas card for the year. I know it’s only August but you can never start on Christmas cards too early lol.
My card base is Gray Granite with a layer of Whisper White then a layer of Peony Garden DSP. My Poinsettia is sitting on another smaller panel of Whisper White which has been die cut with the scalloped edge from the Magnolia Memory Dies then embossed with Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.
The Poinsettia is die cut in Cherry Cobbler using the Poinsettia Dies. The leaves are Mossy Meadow and I’ve added some Gray Granite sprigs. The flower in the centre of my poinsettia is from the Boho Indigo Product Medley. My sentiment is White heat embossed and is from the Wrapped In Christmas stamp set.
Marvi was happy to pose for a photo today and the card survived!!! I thought those little sprigs might have been a temptation for him.
It’s time to hop over and see Tina’s wonderful creation. Just click on the next button below.
Thanks for stopping by.
Your card is so beautiful! The background DSP is gorgeous, and the poinsettia is so pretty. I’m glad Marvi let this one though unscathed!
Beautiful! Love Gray Granite with the traditional Christmas colours, Peta.
Beautiful poinsettia, and aren’t those little flowers from Boho Indigo so handy?
Such a lovely card!! I love the gray and cherry colour combo!
Fabulous poinsettia and the DSP is perfect to let it shine. Great card
Wow! I think I’ll be CASEing you for sure. This is gorgeous, the poinsettia has so much definition
THis makes me feel so Christmas-y! I love the way the red poinsettia pops off the grey background. All the texture you’ve created is just beautiful, and that background DSP is an excellent choice because it adds so much more interest than a plain background would, without competing with the poinsettia. Stunning card 🙂
