This week at our CASEing the Catty Challenge CTC499 we are Casseing a background featured in a catalogue. As I was flicking through the catalogue, looking for a project to CASE, it was no surprise at what I ended up choosing.
On page 119 of the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue you will find this card under the Watercolour Techniques section. I love watercolouring and it really was coincidence that I picked this card to CASE. What I loved about it was that checked background which was so organic.
I started by using my medium sized Water Painter and ink refills to create the lines in Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green. Once this background was dry, I added some ink blending and splatters. I used Paper Snips to distress the edges.
A matte Shaded Spruce layer with tone-on-tone stamping follows the background of the original card.
Next, I used Watercolour Pencils to colour in the flower pot image from the Country Flowers stamp set. I just took my time, colouring the image with just pencils (no water) and blending the colours. Some die cut flowers from the Full of Life Designer Series Paper, were added on top for a 3D effect, along with some die cut leaves.
The Starstruck Embossing Folder I’ve used on the matte layer is a Sale-A-Bration product. Our Sale-A-Bration promotion begins on 7th January. During this promotion you can earn a free product with every $100 order you place. This Embossing Folder is one of the free products you can choose if you place a $100 orrder.
I hope you have been inspired by my card today to try out some water colouring techniques. Next on our hop is Monique Fielder.

The card I’m sharing today was created for the Keep Christ in Christmas Insta Hop which I participated in for the first time last week. We share faith-inspired projects focusing on Jesus – the reason for the season – each Saturday at 5pm EST. I have used the Shepherd’s Care stamp set for my card.
This stamp set has several images and sentiments which can be used for Christmas and other occasions. Everytime I see this image I want to sing the carol ‘While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night’.
I’ve used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches FMS663 as my starting point, using Designer Series Papers to create some of those layers.
For the front square, I wanted to create a small landscape so I free handed a mountain from the Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper then I die cut it using the same square die. The sky was blended with Balmy Blue ink.
The shepherd’s garb was paper-pieced using the Iconic Celebrations Designer Series Paper. I also added some extra shading with Watercolour Pencils. The rest of the shepherd image was coloured with Stampin’ Blends.
The Pearls coordinated perfectly for this card with the Linen Thread just finishing the sentiment off nicely.
Please get in contact with me if you need any help. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead of you.

Hello friends, Welcome to this month’s New at SU blog hop and this month we have a colour challenge. I chose the Sentimental Wishes bundle to create with as my featured product for this card.
We could use any or all of these colours for our project and I’ve gone with all! The first element I created was my focal image – the stocking. I envisioned a stocking made with velvet/suede fabric and wanted to created that textured feel using the Faux Suede technique.
To create this, I distressed a panel of Moody Mauve Cardstock and pulled it apart to form 2 sections. Then, I stamped the stocking in Moody Mauve onto the inner portion and fussy cut the centre section. To add more depth, I blended Moody Mauve ink over the creases and around the edges.
I paper pieced Moody Mauve piece onto another stocking which I stamped on Basic White Cardstock. The other parts were coloured with Stampin’ Blends. The presents were kept simple with colouring in Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Ivory Stampin’ Blends.
Here you see the texture from the Faux Suede technique on the stocking
I added some blended Cardstock and Glimmer paper along with a heat embossed sentiment to bring some sparkle to this Christmas card.
The sketch I have followed is from The Stamping Lounge where we have several resources and perks available as part of our membership. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have loved my take on this colour palette. Make sure to visit all the participants to see what amazing creations they have with this one colour palette.

Happy Saturday! Welcome to this week’s Monochromatic challenge which is actually an Insta Hop with the Crafty Collaborations team. The featured colour today is Petal Pink. This is a colour that over the years has ‘grown on me’. I rather like it teamed with gold for Christmas however today I’ve gone with an all occasion card using the More than Autumn bundle.
I chose a few images to cluster together on a background embossed with the Leaf Fall embossing folder. Around the images, I lightly blended the background with Petal Pink ink.
The cocoa cup was paper-pieced with Designer Series Paper from the Flowering Zinnias DSP pack. I added some shading with Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends on the top and bottom of the cup. The centre was coloured with Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends. The cream was glittered with Wink of Stella.
I wanted to create the look of toasted marshmallows so I stamped the image in Pecan Pie ink. Then using a Blender Pen, I pulled in some of the colour into the marshamllows, which gave them a toasted colour.
I created a customised sentiment by adding the ‘best’ from another sentiment in the set. The sentiment was stamped on Basic White Cardstock and then I coloured it in with a Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend. This gives a softer tone rather than stamping directly on coloured Cardstock.
I added some splatters of Petal Pink and Wink of Stella around the white space. The sentiment was staggered and who wouldn’t love to receive a take away cup that says ‘BEST’? That’s sure to lift someone’s day.
A supply list is below and these are available in my Online Store and can be purchased Australia wide.
