CTC #515 - CASEing Easter

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 Easter projects from any catalogue or online exclusive OR create an Easter project taking inspiration from any of the catalogues or online exclusives. 

I was inspired by this card from page 26 of the Jan to Apr Mini Catalogue, this is actually one of the few explicitly Easter projects in the catalogues so I decided to use elements of it as inspiration.

Firstly I decided to do minimal stamping, although it ended up being no stamping as I used a pre-printed sentiment.  I wanted to use pre-printed images and chose the ones in the Mixed Media Floral Memories and More pack, pairing them with baskets cut from Woven Textures DSP using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch.  To make them more vase like I cut a small section off one side and sponged the edges.  I tried to keep with the idea of a larger and smaller image, and to fit them onto my card it worked better for me to use a portrait orientation.  The cute little ladybirds are also from the M&M pack and make a change from the usual bling-ey embellishments. 

  

I hope you are inspired to join in the challenge this week, just use a project to inspire an Easter version, or an Easter project to inspire your creativity ,then post a picture of your project to the CTC Facebook page.

  

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

Happy Stamping
