CASE-ing the Catty #22 - Card Sketch

This week at CASE-ing the Catty we have a sketch challenge for you, the beautiful card on page 17. You don't have to use the butterfly or oval shape if you are inspired to use something else. 

Here is my take on the sketch, I kept the butterfly, but decided I wanted to off-set it from the central position.  I used the beautiful Indescribable Gift stamp set, which has some lovely sentiments and the stunning flower branch. For this card I stamped the flower onto the vellum and embossed with white embossing powder. By colouring behind the image, on the back of the vellum it gives a softer look to the colours, I did the same with the vellum butterfly.

Check out what the rest of the talented design team have made to inspire you, use their creations to inspire you to create and join in this week.

Happy Stamping

CASE-ing The Catty #15 - Sale-A-Bration

CASE-ing the Catty is back for another year of catalogue inspired challenges!  The challenge guidelines are very simple:

• Create a new project for this challenge
• Make note in your post which project you took inspiration from
• Use only Stampin' Up! products in your creation
• Mention CASE-ing the Catty in your blog post, and link to the CASE-ing the Catty blog
• Have Fun!

The first challenge for 2015 is to be inspired by a stamped project from the Sale-A-Bration (SAB) Catalogue and use a SAB (or new stamp set) in your project.  You can see an on-line version of the catalogue on my right side bar.  

I took inspiration from the card at the top of page 17 of the SAB catalogue, although I changed up the colours a little bit.  The stamp set I used was one of the ones you can earn free during SAB and is "Simply Wonderful", it is so versatile with 7 sentiments!  I also used another new stamp set Butterfly Basics to stamp the small butterflies onto the vellum.  

Here is an up-close picture of the butterfly cut using the Butterflies Thinlits out of gold glimmer paper, isn't it just lovely?

Pop over to the CASE-ing the Catty blog and check out what the other design team have created, and be inspired to join in.

Happy Stamping
