Heartfelt Sympathy CTC#239


Welcome back to another week of CASE-ing The Catty. The crew is made up of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all parts of Australia and New Zealand.You are at the blog of Rachel Palmieri, Independent Stampin' Up!® demonstrator. I run classes at my home studio in South Morang, Victoria, share Stampin' Up!® products and tools at parties for my customers, coach my lovely team and create cards and the occasional 3D project. 

This week we are CASEing a layout from page 103 and changing the theme. The theme on this page is for children and babies and I have adapted it to be a sympathy card. I've CASE-d the top card, which used Fable Friends, above.





Since I've hardly used the Country Floral embossing folder, I decided to use that, just like in the original, but with Gray Granite card. Nature's Roots was the die set used, and it includes some embossing plates for the leaves too, giving such a delicate touch to these soft shades.



The stamped image of the crossgrain tree trunk is barely visible in the photo after stamping off, but IRL is a lovely subtle background for the design elements, another of which is the three sprigs from the Well Written dies. 'Heartfelt sympathy' is stamped and die cut from Well Said/Well Written. A few stitches on the sewing machine holds it all in place and echo the Stitched Circle it is all sitting on.



The ever-so talented Siobhan is following me this week
Join our challenge on Facebook and share your project using a card on page 103 and change the theme.

A Good Dad With Two Sons


There have been a number of examples shared using A Good Man with other stamp sets, mostly Beautiful You and Wonderful Moments. Both of these pair beautifully because of the strong sketch lines, but I wondered how it would look with the little boy from Heartland.



After stamping the two images, and masking the foreground figure to do so, I didn't think they would mold together all that well. The art work is in two completely different styles, 


Now that it is full coloured with blends, and tied together some more with a bold script sentiment right across the card, I'm quite happy and gave this card to my son yesterday. He is obviously the father of two small boys..... I think he liked it.
I'd love to hear if you think this idea works.
