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 our inspiration from the colours in the Trimming the Town DSP: Misty Moonlight, Pool Party, Old Olive, Poppy Parade
I decided the two shades of blue would make a great background so sponged both onto one of the gold embossed card fronts from Most Wonderful Time Product Medley to create a sort of night sky. I am so happy with how it turned out with a sort of paler glow coming from the centre of the card. The tree and presents are from the coordinating stamp set and dies. My tip for these is to get them positioned just right on your Stamparatus, cut a template with the die, and then cut lots of the presents from white cardstock and position in the templates. Since doing this I have used them way more often as I found them a bit difficult to line up ... or maybe I was too picky how the looked! A little pearl on the top of each present just adds some elegance.
I hope you are inspired to join in the challenge this week, just use the colours from the Trimming The Town DSP in your project, then post a picture of your project to the CTC Facebook page.
Time to hop on over and see what Kathryn has created this week.
Happy Stamping

I love how you have coloured the background! Looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful background. Lovely sponging onto the gold embossed card. Great tip with the Stamparatus. I really should use mine more.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, these two colours sponged together look fantastic! What a great card using these colours. Love it all.
ReplyDeleteThat background is just fabulous - a real starry night sky look. And such a pretty stack of presents on top.
ReplyDeleteYour sponging is perfection! I love how it highlights the tree and the gifts underneath.
