Hello and welcome to my blog. I’ve had another busy weekend in the garden with planting and mulching. All the grass has been removed and we have a lovely lush tropical backyard with no mowing. At least it hasn’t been too hot this weekend.
This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing a card from the Annual Catalogue and giving it a Christmas Twist. You may have hopped over from Michelle’s blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of the post.
I didn’t get very far into the Catty before I found the card I wanted to CASE. I’ve just received the Cup Of Tea Bundle and thought it would be perfect to use for this challenge.
I’ve CASEd the card at the top right of page 12 of the Annual Catalogue and given it a Christmas Twist.
My card base is Thick Basic White followed by a layer of Garden Green card stock. I’ve added another layer of Basic White which I’ve created an embossed line border with my paper trimmer. I’ve stamped several leaves from the Forever Fern stamp set then added a few holly leaves from the Merriest Moments stamp set. I’ve used Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede and Old Olive inks.
The “tea cup” has a base of Cherry Cobbler with a Boughs of Holly DSP die cut layer over the top. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Deer stamp set and is stamped in Cherry Cobbler. I think this card has a very Australian Christmas feel to it, what do you think?
I interrupted Marvi’s nap time today but at least he opened his eyes for a quick photo. One of the lovely ladies that comes to my card class gave Marvi a new little handmade toy yesterday. I could hear him racing up and down the hall in the middle of the night playing with it.
It’s time to hop over and see Judy’s wonderful creation. Just click on the next button below.
