Hello friends, Welcome to our CASEing the Catty Challenge and for CTC484. Today we get to CASE anything from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue. Well, you know when the there is such a large selection, it’s harder to make a choice!

I really loved the ‘You inspire me’ square card on Page 74 of the catalogue. There are so many elements in this card to be inspired by such as the background stamping, layout or square card.

What I really loved in this card was the colour palette so I selected these colours for my card.

I flipped the colours around a bit, making Summer Splash the predominant colour.The matte layer was embossed with the Changing Leaves hybrid embossing folder and I added some ink blending over it in Summer Splash to highlight some of those embossed leaves.

The leaves were stamped on Fluid 100 Watercolour Cardstock. I stamped 2 leaves in Saddle Brown Stazon ink and watercoloured them in Calypso Coral, Petal Pink and Wild Wheat using ink refills.

The larger leaf was stamped in Calypso Coral onto Fluid 100 Cardstock. Then I added some Calypso Coral and Wild Wheat onto the stamp using a Water Painter. As the stamp set is photopolymer, I was able to align the image over the previously stamped image. The slight dampness which was on the Water Painter was sufficient to create movement on the ink and create some areas of deeper colour.

Some glimmer die cut sprigs from the Flowers of Beauty Dies were added inbetween the watercoloured leaves and placed on a die cut circle from the Spotlight on Nature dies. I added some tone-on-tone shading with Petal Pink around the circle.

A heat embossed sentiment on black and some Drusy Adhesive Backed Embellishments (from the upcoming catalogue) complete this card.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you are inspired to try some of these techniques. Please leave a comment as you follow through to see Monique Fielder’s project.
