CASEing the Catty - #CTC153 Holiday Catalogue Tag

This week we had to find a tag to case in the holiday catalogue

There are a lot to choose from, but in the end I settled with the tag on page 54

However as you can see, I chose to turn it into a card and change things a little.  

I started with Very Vanilla thick cardstock for the base.  I then used the thin Very Vanilla for the front and die cut each end with the smaller die from Detailed Floral Thinlits. The vellum layer on top was stamped with the flowers from Wood Words in Old Olive.  The fussy cut flowers are from Remarkable You and coloured using the new Stampin' Blends, Pink Pirouette and Old Olive with a touch of So Saffron marker for the stamen.  

Greeting is from Butterfly Basics and cut with Stitched Shapes framelit. To give depth of colour to the butterfly from the same set, I used Blushing Bride as Pink Piroutte was just a little soft on the very vanilla. Sad if you didn't get to purchase the butterfly punch before it retired, but you could just fussy cut this little fella. The trim is Gold Natural Trim, Gold Mini Sequin Trim and a Very Vanilla Baker's Twine bow.

What a busy month October has been.  Following on from World Cardmaking Day, I was again inspired by Kylie Bertucci, who has created the first of what will hopefully be a monthly Visual Blog Hop.

My card today had me reach for the Remarkable You stamp set and Copper embossing powder.  I used Very Vanilla cardstock, but have mounted it all onto an Early Espresso base to give it a bit more strength.  The centre panel has been matted onto Copper Foil and raised using Stampin' Dimensionals. Images were watercoloured using Sweet Sugarplum, Rich Razzleberry and Garden Green. I have combined Copper metallic thread with Linen thread to wrap and tie a bow, and the greeting is from Rose Wonder.

Please excuse the quality of the next photo, but I wanted to show how the copper and the embossing jump out of the card which the above image doesn't capture.

Thanks for visiting my blog today, there are so many amazing ideas along the way. We know that you will love our gallery of projects made from Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators around the world!
