#CTC267 Ornate Garden Week 1

This fortnight we are CASEing the Ornate Garden suite for #CTC267 and have been instructed to use the flowers as inspiration:

I really liked the card on the bottom left above and went with pretty much the exact layout, switching out the ingredients - the open image of the flowers being my inspiration..

I've used Highland Heather for my base card and mat which was embossed with the Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder. I've stamped the Good Morning Magnolia image in Soft Suede onto Whisper White and cut the panel into 3 then adhered it to the top mat.  I've stamped the greeting from Varied Vases in Highland Heather onto Whisper White. Next I adhered some retired Daffodil Delight double stitched ribbon and Daffodil Delight diecut shapes using the Lovely Flowers dies behind the greeting, popping the whole group up on Stampin' Dimensionals.

Once I finally decided what I was doing, this card came together very quickly. A great way to use up some of the 'little leftovers' we pop aside so I think I'll be using this idea again.

Our next crew member has chosen the same card to CASE, so please pop over and check out Monique's gorgeous creation:

#CTC258 Wrapped in Plaid Suite

We are back to the Holiday catalogue and the Wrapped in Plaid suite on pages 12-17:

The card at the top of page 13 appealed to me:

I've chosen to use a base of Cherry Cobbler, and my stitched layer is Wrapped in Plaid Specialty DSP. I've punched six trees out of a co-ordinating colour with the Pine Tree Punch and embossed each with a different 3D Embossing Folder. They are Country Floral; Subtle, Tufted, Pinewood Planks, Layered Leaves and Tin Tile. 

Every second three is raised with Stampin' Dimensionals. Close up of the Cherry Cobbler trees card:

The greeting is from Perfectly Plaid and Night of Navy ink. Here's the Night of Navy trees card:

A little hard to see the stitching on the plaid but this one shows it better, the Shaded Spruce trees card:
