This week the CASE-ing The Catty design team are focusing on the second release SALE-A-Bration catalogue.
I've selected the sketch of the coffee cups card in the middle of the top left picture to make my 'Congratulations' card using Happy Birthday To You, one of the most popular of the SALE-A-Bration stamp sets. The elements I've used are ribbon twisted back and forth behind the die cut, central placement of the die cut, and a banner to carry the sentiment.
It then becomes a whole different card because of the colour change and a different image. The Garden Lane DSP as a background adds a different look as well. Although green is not a favourite colour of mine, this paper from the Annual catalogue has such subtle backgrounds and soft shades, it is hard to pass it up.
With the cake and flowers coloured with blends in quite soft shades, this is appropriate for a wedding, especially paired with the 'congratulations' and short verse from Beautiful Bouquet. This stamp set would possibly take first prize for thoughtful sentiments. I tried to capture the lovely shimmer of Wink Of Stella on the flowers but it is quite hard to do - you'll have to take my word for it, but its worth adding.
I have also invested in the Coordination Product Release and purchased the Birthday Dies, which cut the whole cake, flowers etc, just the flowers and leaves and two different types of leaves. That is $47, so you just need another $43 to earn the Happy Birthday To You stamp set free, until the end of March, as long as stock lasts.
You may have started the blog hop here, or have come from the lovely Julia Quinn. Whichever it is, there are plenty more samples to view, so keep on to Siobhan at Hightree House of Cards to see what she has CASE-d.

ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty card, Rachel. I love the elements you've CASED. Beautifully coloured as always. This is a really unexpected colour palette but it works so well.
ReplyDeleteI love your colour choice for the cake and that you've removed the cake stand. I also struggle with the Garden Lane DSP but agree it makes a fun background. Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh this is so pretty, and the subtle glitter is fabulous. I love how we've CASEd the same card, but made two totally different cards!
ReplyDeleteThe perfect card for a wedding or special occasion. Love how you’ve done the cake without the stand.
