CASEing the Catty - #CTC381 Boughs of Holly Suite

It's Sunday, so it's CASEing the Catty time, this week we are CASEing the Bough of Holly Suite in the Mini Catalogue.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Peta Stephens.

This is my very favourite bundle from the Mini Catalogue so I could not miss caseing this Suite.

I have chosen the card on page 24 which is featured below.  I have made a fancy fold card which on the first and third panels I have made some tone on tone stripes using the thickest Water Painter.  

I placed a clear block onto my old olive ink pad to create an ink pad where I could add lots of water with a container of water and then added the thick stripes of colour to the panels to create an effective background.

It was then time to create the centrepiece of the card which includes fussy cutting the poinsettias which I then positioned in diagonal corners and then added a lot of layers of embellishments and leaves -  especially the gorgeous Gold Holly Leaves,  Gold Open Leaf Trinket and the Iridescent Trim.

Finally, I created a featured Sahara Sand holly leaves insert which you can also see on the edges when the card is closed.

I am in the process of creating a tutorial for this fancy fold card, so if you would like a copy please join my newsletter mailing list or email me and I'll send you a copy once it's completed.
