CTC433 – Case A Project and Step It Up

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week we have a fun challenge, CASE any project from the Annual Catalogue and Step It Up. 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 the post.

This week I’ve used the “Thinking of You” card on page 66 as my inspiration.

I’ve used the same background as the sample card but stepped it up by adding a couple of extra layers, changing the colour of the leaves and flowers and adding some bling.

My card base is one of the new 2023-2025 In Colours, Wild Wheat. When I first saw Wild Wheat I thought it would work well with gold and black. I’ve added a layer of Very Vanilla then a layer of Naturally Gilded Specialty DSP (online exclusive) then a layer of Vellum to tone done the gold and make the black more prominent. The flowers and leaves were die cut using the Meadow Dies.

I’ve added some More Dazzle Specialty Paper over three of the flowers. Although this specialty paper comes in gold I thought it was too much gold and went with the Champagne colour instead. The sentiment is from the Quiet Meadow stamp set and is stamped in Wild Wheat on Very Vanilla card stock. I also added a gold Brushed Metallic butterfly.

Marvi was having his morning snack so I quickly interrupted him for a picture. I’m sure he thought he might get some more food if he looked at the camera.
