Hello and welcome to my blog. This week we’re CASEing a Colouring Project from either Catalogue. 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’ve CASEd the very tropical card on the far right of page 117 of the Annual Catalogue.
I bought this background stamp to make a special card for a lady that owns a local nursery. She gave me an enormous amount of help when I was selecting the plants for my tropical backyard makeover.
My card base is Thick Basic White followed by a layer of Evening Evergreen. On a separate piece of Basic White I’ve stamped the Tropical Hideaway background stamp using Evening Evergreen ink. I’ve then coloured all of the background with a Mint Macaroon Stampin’ Blend. I’ve also used Granny Apple Green and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends to highlight some of the tropical leaves.
The sentiment is from the Around The Bend stamp set and is White Heat Embossed. I’ve used the Label Me Fancy Punch to punch out my sentiment then I’ve threaded some retired Flowers For Every Season Ribbon behind it. I’ve finished off my card with some For Everything Fancy Sequins.
I think Marvi liked my card this week as it looks like his lovely new tropical backyard. He spends hours out there sleeping under the palm trees.
It’s time to hop over and see Monique’s wonderful creation. Just click on the next button below.
