CTC #428 - CASE The Artistic Expressions Section Of The Catalogue

Welcome to another week at CASEing the Catty Sunday Blog Hop, where utilise the projects within the current Stampin' Up! catalogue to inspire our own projects each week. We also invite you to join with us in the challenge each week by using this inspiration in your own creations and uploading a photo to our Facebook page.

This week we are taking inspiration from the Artistic Expression section of the Annual Catalogue, pages 94 to 116.

I was inspired by this card from page 106, I liked the neutral colour scheme and distressed elements. 

I chose stamps from the Earthen Textures stamp set as my leaf images, and the splatter image from Irresistible Blooms stamped in Pebbled Path stamped off three times so it is really feint. 

I then crumpled and distressed the piece of cardstock and added some light sponging in Pebbled Path to bring out the distressing.   With my panel being smaller than the original I decided to add a layer of Wild Wheat embossed with Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder. To help the cane weave stand out I used my blending brushes to add Wild Wheat, Crumb Cake and Copper Clay around the edges. 

I hope you are inspired to join in the challenge this week, just use the projects in the Artistic Expressions section of the catalogue to inspire your creativity, then post a picture of your project to the CTC Facebook page.

  

Time to hop on over and see what Peta has created this week.

Happy Stamping
