Adding MORE to your card CTC#460

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight I'm joining our awesome Sunday Night Blog Hop 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.  This week, we are CASEING and stepping up - which means adding more to the card!

As you can see (hopefully), I had no creative imagination this week - so I just CASED the whole page from the catalogue almost exactly - except for the stamp set.  

I've used the Simply Zinnia's bundle (new in our ONline Exclusives this month) and coloured using Water colour pencils for the step 1 card, and then I used Stampin' Blends for the step 2 AND step 3 cards.

Even though the step 1 card is very simple - it was rather lovely just colouring with the water pencils.

This step 2 card (without the die cutting and extra designer paper) is actually my favourite!!  I really like the background stamping on the card base too.  

Inside the card is some basic colouring again.  The colours I've used are:  Tahitian Tide, Blueberry Bushell and Azure Afternoon.  I really like these colours together. 

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of great ideas.
