Blackberry Beauty inspiration CTC#345

Hello and Welcome to our Sunday night blog hop and challenge CASEING the CATTY.

To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues (CATTY).

This week we are CASEING the colours of the Blackberry Beauty paper - which are:

Polished Pink, Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry, Early Espresso, Cinnamon Cider and Gold.

This card is a very special card for a 50th birthday and I hope she loves it!!  I've used a new stamp set we used at our recent Stampin' Up! training event.  It is called Blessings of Home and it coordinates with a lovely set of dies called Flowers of Home.  Actually my card is sharing lots of new products!!  I've also used a new embossing folder called Gingham on the Gold foil and some Iridescent jewels.

I stamped the images using the Saddle Brown Stazon Ink onto Shimmery white cardstock.  I then watercoloured the flowers using a water painter and all the ink colours.  The die cuts use Early Espresso and Cinnamon Cider cardstock.  I stamped the greeting from Elegantly Said using Blackberry Bliss ink.

This card is a twisted easel  and is extra large - measuring 14.5 x 14.5cm  when it's folded.  After I'd finished it I thought it looked really plain and so I drew a wavery line freehand around the edges using my Early Espresso marker.  

I repeated this on the inside of the card too.  

The inside flowers act as an anchor for the easel when it stands up.  

Here's a video showing how I made this card!!

I'm happy to show you this card in a class - contact me so we can make a time together!!
