CASEing the Catty - #CTC463 Case Bundles from Mini Catalogue Thoughtful Expression Bundle

Happy Easter.  I hope you are having a lovely 4 day Easter break, for me I was able to catch up with family and friends and also spend some time tiding up my craft room ready to put in all the new in colors and goodies from the new Annual Catalogue which I received as part of pre purchase premier order as a demonstrator that attended OnStage in Melbourne.

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

I have chosen to use the Thoughtful Expressions Bundle on page 73 of the Mini Catalogue as we are CASEing the Bundle section this week of the Mini Catalogue.  This Bundle will be carrying over into the Annual Catalogue however it will not be at the Bundle price (10% saving) so I would suggest you purchase it by the end of April.

I started with a Thick Very Vanilla cardstock base (I am a little disappointed that this is retired too and it has already sold out) and layered this with with a piece of Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper in shades of browns.

The three images are stamped in Black Memento and I used the retiring in colors - Orchid Oasis, Sweet Sorbet and Parakeet Party with my blending brushes to colour them in and then die cut the leaves in Parakeet Party and the little flowers in Basic White which I again used my blending brush in Orchid Oasis.

The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso and I have again used the dies from the Thoughtful Expressions set, finally added some In Color Gems from my retired stash.
