CTC #267 - Ornate Garden Week 1

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

For the next two weeks we will be taking our inspiration from the Ornate Garden Suite which is a sneak peek from the new Annual Catalogue that you can purchase from now until 31 May 2020. Each week during the challenge the Design Team will post up creations inspired by this suite. You can be inspired by any of the images associated with this suite which you can find on the online shop (link on the left).

To learn more about this lovely suite, or to find a little more inspiration, you can watch this video by Stampin' Up!

I was inspired by this image as I found the simplicity of the design really appealing and the reduced colour pallet quite pretty. 


As with all our challenges, you don't have to have the exact products in a suite or to match a card or project, just use the products you do have.  That was the basis of my card for the challenge, I am in love with the beautiful Flowering Foils DSP from Sale-A-Bration, and even though SAB is over for this year I thought the lovely big floral images would be perfect for this layout.  I started by fussy cutting the flower images and adhering them to a panel of 8cm x 11cm Whisper White card stock before cutting at 3cm and 8cm to create the three panels.  I decided to add some colour by fussing cutting some of the pretty little flowers and leaves from the Bird Ballad DSP, adding some Organdy Striped Ribbon.

I hope you are inspired to join in the challenge this week, just use the samples from the Ornate Garden Suite to inspire your creativity, then post a picture of your project to the CTC Facebook page.

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

Happy Stamping
Monique
