CASEing the Catty - #CTC285 - CASE Sketch, Rooted in Nature

This week we are CASEing the Catty we are casing a layout from page 29 from the Mini Catalogue which is featured below.

If you have started the hop here welcome, or you may have come from my friend and South Australian stamper, Tina Gillespie.

I have chosen the Rooted in Nature stamp set as it has a large individual tree stamp which I thought I would stamp 4 times to create the four strips, 2 in Shaded Spruce and 2 in Mint Macaron at the top of the card, as it did not fill the card to the bottom, I repeated this step with the trunk as a feature.  

It was a little sparse so I stamped off in Just Jade and added a little individual treat to fill in the background.  Finally I chose a long thin sentiment from the For Unto Us stamp set to stamp onto a thin piece of Whisper White cardstock in Shaded Spruce to cover the joins of the trees and then for a final touch added some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter to the four feature trees (unfortunately my photos can not pick up the sparkle).

Stamp Set:   Rooted in Nature, For Unto Us

Cardstock:  Mint Macaron, Whisper White

Ink:  Shaded Spruce, Just Jade, Mint Macaron

Accessories:  Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush

I was hoping you could see the Clear Wink of Stella, but I don't think it came out even in the close up.

It's now time to hop on over to Sandra Collett.

CASEing the Catty - #CTC284 - Hippo Happiness Bundle

This week at CASEing the Catty we are casing a project from the Bundle section (pages 173 to 179), there are many to choose from too.

If you are starting the hop here welcome, or you may have come from Peta Stephen.

I have used the cute Hippo Happiness Bundle which had not seen ink before Saturday, but I just love the cute images, I chose the Hippo, but the donkey, sheep or butterfly would have worked just as well as the feature to the gate fold card. 

I was hoping that I would have time to turn the inside into a shutter card, but I think that will have to wait until later in the week to make my first one of those fancy fold cards.  Come back on Thursday on I hopefully will have a video to share with instructions and measurements.
