CTC#383 CASE Artistic Expressions Section

The 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. Thank you for visiting the blog of Rachel Palmieri in Melbourne, Australia.

It seemed logical to use either Orchid Oasis or Balmy Blue with the Hydrangea Haven card I chose to CASE. Orchid Oasis won this time. I changed out the embossing Folder for Leaf Fall 3D EF in the Mini July-December catalogue.

The circle seemed like it drew all the pieces together, so I included that, but I would make it smaller next time. I also liked the scattering of white flowers.

Graceful Tiles has both lovely sentiments, I mainly bought that stamp set for the greetings.

We love having you join in our challenges. Ask to join our Facebook group, and then add a picture of your CASE, and let us know which card or project you've CASE-d. No blog required, no special qualifications.

Julia Quinn is our next talented crew member sharing, and I have to say I LOVE her card. 

Julia and I caught up for afternoon tea last week when I was up in her part of the country.

 

Ranuculus Romance Two Ways

 When I was working on my Crushed Curry Project, I used a couple of pieces of Fluid 100 water-colour paper and two different ways of water colouring. The one I shared on Wednesday was my preferred method, wetting the paper and dropping colour onto the paper so it spreads.

It was texture embossed once the paper was dry. There were off-cuts after I had die cut a panel with the Deckled Rectangle dies and some leaves were cut using a leaf similar to the Liquid Amber tree, which colours up so beautifully in autumn.

More stamping with Ranuculus Romance was added to this second card and the full sentiment was stamped on the hexagonal label this time instead of masking part of it as on the first card.

Quite a different card using the same colours, stamps and materials, and a delight to make and share. If you are tempted to add these items to an order you can shop online with me 24/7.
