CTC #412 CASE a Sketch

CASE-ing The Catty Crew are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from Australia & New Zealand who take inspiration weekly from the catalogues. The catalogues are a fantastic resource, and we love to inspire you to seek inspiration there too.

I'm a big fan of sketches as a starting point for card design and this one came together so easily for me.

By the Bay SDSP had been on my desk as I put together a number of beach-themed projects and it set me thinking about family birthdays. My husband enjoys fishing, probably for the quiet time as much as anything and so this card idea developed.

After pairing a couple of the beautiful papers, I moved on to the rest of the sketch and took a little artistic license.

Rugged Icons is a set of stand-alone dies which include a guitar, mountain scene, beard and a power drill. I've found them very handy when making cards for my tribe of fellas!

The crab is part of the Seaside Bay bundle, and as such has a die to cut it out if you choose. I finished the inside of the card by simply stamping in Crumb Cake.

We love for you to share your projects using the challenges. We do request that the projects you submit have been created especially for this challenge. You can CASE directly or be inspired by a sketch/layout, colour combo or embellishment. Ask to join our Facebook group, and then add a picture of your CASE letting us know which card or project you've CASE-d.

The very talented Monique Fielder is sharing a sunflower card next on this blog hop.

Friends Are Like Seashells

Friends Are Like Seashells has been slightly neglected in my craft room, I wonder if it is because in Melbourne we have barely had any sunshine in months!

It has been paired with the lovely new paper, By The Bay SDSP. This paper will suit anything with a marine theme, but I have now ordered By the Bay Bundle.

This greeting in Friends Are Like Seashells is quite lovely both in sentiment and font.
