Hello and welcome to my blog. It’s been another busy week in the stampincat household. Last weekend I went shopping for a new bed, I took my sister with me as she was looking to buy a new lounge. We went to the local Homemaker Centre where all the retailers sell furniture. I found the perfect bed with matching bedside tables and dresser, so then we looked at lounges. While looking at the lounges I fell in love with a TV unit, buffet and coffee table. I ended up buying 7 pieces of furniture, my sister is still looking for a lounge. All the furniture arrived yesterday and I spent all day moving my old furniture out to the garage and unpacking all my new goodies. My sister helped, I think it was only fair as I wouldn’t have purchased the extra furniture if I didn’t look at the lounges lol.
This week at CASEing the Catty we have a sketch challenge. CASE the card/sketch on page 159 of the Annual Catty. You may have hopped over from Sandra’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 a breakdown of the sketch.
I’ve made my CASE a Christmas card using the Poinsettia Petals Bundle.
I’ve started with a Crumb Cake card base then added a couple of Square Vellum Doilies then a Whisper White layer. My Poinsettias are Gold Heat Embossed on Real Red card stock, the leaves are Garden Green.
I’ve added some Gold Foil sprigs and flower centres. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set and is die cut with an Ornate Frames Die. The Boho Indigo gold ribbon finishes my card off nicely.
Marvi’s not quite sure about all the new furniture but he’s enjoying playing with all the packaging it came in. He’s given my card the Marvi paw of approval.
It’s time to hop over and see Shannon’s wonderful creation. Just click on the next button below.
Oh. My. Goodness. What a stunning card. Loooooove the vellum doilies behind the main panel!! And these flowers are incredible with the gold heat embossing. So very beautiful!! Everything about your card is perfect.
I have to agree with Julie. This is a stunning card. So glad to see you have used the vellum squares. I love it.
Gorgeous card, Peta. Love the gold embossed Poinsettias and the doilies create a fabulous background. Isn’t it funny how cats love the packaging more than the contents?
Stunning card with the vellum doilies and the poinsettias are stunning
