CASEing the Catty - #CTC462 Case a Sketch from the Mini Catalogue

This week at CASEing the Catty we are caseing a Sketch from the Mini Catalogue.  

I created this card whilst I was having a 9 day break in Melbourne and the regions with fellow crew member, Rachel Palmieri.  

After attending Stampin' Up!'s Onstage event at the Convention Centre, I went home with some new in color cardstock which I just had to use in my card.

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

Whilst staying at Rachel's home I was able to use the Cutest Cows as I have not purchased this bundle yet.  I have used the two new green in colors - Shy Shamrock and Summer Splash to create grass by tearing the cardstock and then added a little colour with a blending brush in Shaded Spruce to the torn edges to give further texture.

I stamped the happy sunflowers in Black Memento ink and coloured them using a selection of blends and then with Balmy Blue ink and a blending brush added the sky around the flowers.  

All three cows were then coloured in and they were all so cute I wanted to use them all so I ended up not being able to have a larger border as featured in the sketch which I had planned.  Finally I added them with dimensionals and added the matching sentiment.

Stamp Set:  Cutest Cows

Cardstock:  Shy Shamrock, Summer Splash, Basic White

Ink:  Black Memento, Balmy Blue, Shaded Spruce, Crumb Cake, Basic Gray, Petal Pink, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive

Accessories:  Cutest Cows Punch

CASEing the Catty - #460 Case a Project and Step it Up Enduring Beauty Bundle

This week at CASEing the Catty we are caseing a project from either the Annual or Mini Catalogues and Stepping it up.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Julia Quinn.

I have chosen to case the Stepped Upped cards on page 39 of the Mini Catalogue using the Enduring Beauty Bundle which include a mix of masks, stamp set and dies which is a first for Stampin' Up!

This bundle has been in at my home for a couple of months but this is the first time I have had some time to pull it out and give it some love and ink.

I am featuring some of the upcoming retiring in colors - Orchid Oasis, Starry Sky and Parakeet Party for the featured floral centrepiece. 

I have stamped Black Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock and then I used my blending brushes in Orchid Oasis and Parakeet Party to easily coloured in the image.  

The masks have a number in the top left hand corner so this makes it so easy to layer the colours to create a wonderful image and I have only used 2 ink pads but with the layers it gives the different shades of colour.  The centrepiece was then die cut out.

With the layered Basic White cardstock, I very lightly added the stamens in Orchid Oasis to create a background, then added this to the Starry Sky cardstock, add the centrepiece with dimensionals and add a few tiny little buds in Black Memento and use the two step stamp and stamp off the ink to give a lighter colour.

Finally, I added some die cut buds and leaves in Parakeet Party, a sentiment from Thoughtful Expressions in Starry Sky, a double baker's twine bow and some Faceted Gems. 

Stamp Set:  Enduring Beauty, Thoughtful Expressions

Cardstock:  Basic White, Starry Sky, Parakeet Party

Ink:  Black Memento, Orchid Oasis, Starry Sky, Parakeet Party

Accessories:  Cut and Emboss Machine, Enduring Beauty Dies, Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks, Starry Sky Baker's Twine, Faceted Gems

CASEing the Catty - #CTC458 Case a Sketch Sale-A-Bration

This week at CASEing the Catty we are caseing a sketch layout which is inspired by the card featured on page 4 of the Sale-A-Bration brochure.

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

I have chosen to use the Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper which you can receive for FREE with a $90 purchase but you only have a few more days to take up this offer.

I have taken a Wild Wheat card base and added a piece of the DSP of the same colour which I die cut using the largest of Perennial Postage dies. 

I then added my centrepiece of the card where I fussy cut out the stippled roses in Pebbled Path and fixed them to a square piece of Basic White and then I coloured a full rose image with Calypso Coral blending brush.  

Final touches included a couple of strips of the Calypso Coral DSP to the top and bottom.  The sentiment which I used is the new Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder and matching dies and highlighted again with Calypso Coral ink.

Cardstock:  Wild Wheat, Basic White, Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper
