CASEing the Catty #CTC421 Case the All Occasion Section Pansy Patch & Pansy Dies

This week at CASEing the Catty we are being inspired by the All Occasion Section of the Annual Catalogue, pages 14 to 61, so you have lots of ideas to CASE.

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

I love the card on page 27 that I am CASEing this week.  It's one that has so many die cut elements but it really caught my eye straight away when going through the pages.

I have pretty much cased it as it is featured in the Annual Catalogue, I have used the Exposed Brick 3D Textured Embossing Folder as my background with Daffodil Delight applied with the Blending Brush instead of the mask.  

I may have used the Lemon Lime Twist as the lighter green on the leaves otherwise the colours are the same.

I love the 3 purple tones - Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape.  I did also use my sponge dauber in Highland Heather on the centre of the pansy over the top of the Fresh Freesia which gives it further depth of colour.

We made this at last Saturday's card class and when you had to die cut for 8 attendees that ladies on the Cut 'n Emboss machines did get a workout.

CASEing the Catty #CTC419 Case a Love Project Layering Leaves & Bough Punch

This week at CASEing the Catty we are caseing a love project.  One of my first stamp sets on my wish list from the Annual Catalogue was Layering Leaves which was designed by one of the million dollar sales achievers which matches the Bough Punch which carried over from the last catalogue.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Monique Fielder.

I have chosen to case the box on page 67.  I do not have the Timeless Arrangements Bundle but I was inspired by the centre sentiment and the flowers and foliage that surround it.

I have used the new Bubble Bath cardstock which I stamped some splashes of colour in Moody Mauve and then layered onto my base of Moody Mauve cardstock with a strip of cardstock in the centre which I used the Deckled Rectangles dies to create a torn edge look instead of the ribbon.  

The leaves and flower are stamped using a variety of colours on Basic White cardstock and a few on Old Olive cardstock to give another layer of depth and with the punch it was so easy to cut them all out quickly.  

I stamped the sentiment on Basic White and then layering onto Moody Mauve using the retired Beautiful Shades dies.  I put this sentiment in the centre on dimensionals and then poked all the leaves and flowers under the sentiment and then added some Wild Wheat from the Christmas Pinecone Dies.  Finally I added 3 of the Moody Mauve In Colour Dots on the edges of the foliage.

Stamp Set:  Layering Leaves

Cardstock:  Bubble Bath, Moody Mauve, Old Olive, Basic White

Ink:  Bubble Bath, Moody Mauve, Old Olive, Black Momento

Accessories:  Bough Punch, Cut 'n Emboss Machine, Deckled Rectangles, Beautiful Shades Dies (retired), In Colour Dots
