Two of my daughter-in-laws have birthdays early in June, so it seemed sensible to make variations of cards, using the same stamp for the girls. Mary Fish's Various Vases stamp set and punch was not immediately on my wish list, even though I love my garden, and picking vases of flowers for the house. It didn't take long for me to change my mind though, and now I seem to be using it so much!
I CASE-d the card from page 13 of the catty with minor changes. The tulip is probably my least favourite flower so I left it out. Love the other flowers though, and think the one far left is like a mini version of Love What You Do.
Mint Macaron is always a colour I associate with this D-I-L, she seems to really favour it. I allowed my creativity run away with this card, so it ended up not being a CASE of anything!
That's a positive effect of CASE-ing The Catty I think, you begin with almost a straight out CASE for the first card, and something totally original for the next.
Another stamped envelope for this birthday card, the finishing touch. I hope you have a copy of the new catalogue, because it is your turn to CASE anything in the new catalogue and join our Facebook Challenge page.
Time for you to head off to check out lovely, talented Rose Packer's project or you might like to go back to see what Liz has created.
If you're placing your order for items from the Annual Catalogue, you may add the host code to your order (if its less than $250) to receive a gift from me.
