Hello and welcome to my blog. This week we’re CASEing the Beautiful Gallery Suite, pages 52-57 of the Annual Catalogue. 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 suite was the first thing on my wish list after attending OnStage in March. It is a beautiful suite and will be getting lots of use in my craft room. I’ve CASEd the card on the very left of the above graphic.
I’ve started with a Basic Beige card base followed by a layer of Secret Sea then another layer of Basic Beige. I’ve used the Damask Designs embossing folder then distressed the edges. I’ve added a little Smoky Slate ink to the distressed edges. I die cut the “frame” in Cloud Cover using the Gallery Blooms Dies then I stamped it with a stamp from the Elements of Text stamp set.
The largest flower was stamped in Secret Sea ink then I used a blender pen to pull a little bit of ink out of the stamped image to slightly colour the flower. I’ve added some Secret Sea, Petal Pink and Pecan Pie die cut foliage. It’s very hard to see in my photo but I’ve flicked some Wink of Stella all over the card. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set and is heat embossed with Copper embossing powder. To finish off my project I’ve added some Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments. Don’t you just love the word “drusy”, I had to look it up haha. It means “lined with a crust of projecting crystals”.
Judging by the look on Marvi’s face, I don’t think he was impressed with my card. I couldn’t even win him over with the Drusy Embellishments, he was too busy eating his cat grass.

Lovely card Peta, the layers and embossing really add so much!
WOW! That’s quite a scowl on Marvi’s face! I don’t think I’ve ever seen him look so mad. You must’ve interrupted his snack time! I like your card!! He’s just grumpy.
