With the launch of a new catalogue last Tuesday, this week’s CTC 486 CASEing the Catty Challenge is to CASE the Stampin’ Up! September-December Mini Catalogue.
I can’t go past a sketch so I picked this card from Page 30 which uses the Nests of Winter Suite. I substituted the products with the Regal Winter suite.
My colour palette was determined by the sheet of Regal Winter Designer Series Paper I chose for my card which had rich hues of blue and purple on it.
I started by stamping the flowers and leaves, choosing 2 coordinating colours to create depth and more cohesiveness with the Designer Series Paper. The flowers were inked in Gorgeous Grape and then I added Night of Navy direct to the stamp with a Blending Brush before stamping each flower. I did the same with the leaves using Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce.
I clustered the flowers and leaves with some additional foliage from the Thoughtful Wishes dies. These were die cut from a Basic White Cardstock panel blended with Night of Navy, Gorgeous Grape and Smoky Slate ink. This technique provides beautiful shading on leaves and I was able to coordinate it to the leaves on the Designer Series Paper.
The patterned paper was layered onto a panel of Gorgeous Grape which had been blended with Night of Navy ink. This made the Cardstock tone better with the DSP. To resemble the white panel on the original card I added a thin strip of Silver Foil.
Behind the flowers I added a label from the Regal Flora dies which I die cut from another sheet of Regal Winter DSP. I cut this in half and offset it and arranged the flowers around it. A heat embossed sentiment in silver and some pearls complete this card.
I hope you consider adding the stunning Regal Winter suite to your collection. It includes specialty paper as well and with a range of sentiments, you will find many ways to create with it.
