CASEING THE CATTY #162 SWEET SOIREE

Sunday 21 January 2018

Hello and welcome to this week's CASEing the Catty Blog Hop. This week we are CASEing the Sweet Soiree Suite on pages 10-14.

This is a gorgeous suite full of pretty colours, designs and accessories.

For this week's CASE I've picked the Marina Mist floral card on the right hand side.

The card in the catalogue was made using the Sweet Soirée Embellishment Kit and as I don't yet have this kit I had to improvise. So starting from the base up here's what I used:

The scalloped edge used the Scalloped Velvet Ribbon - I used a thinlits die from the Petals & More Thinlits Die. I had to play around with this to keep it in a continual strip. I then added the Silver Mini Sequin Trim and Silver Baker's Twine;
I didn't have a stamp that I liked as much to create the sprigs stamped in Versamark on the card base so I cut some in vellum from the Petals & More Thinlits Dies;
the flowers have been fussy cut from the Sweet Soirée Specialty Designer Series Paper; and
the sentiment is from the Perennial Birthday stamp set - this is one of my favourite sets!

It was a bit fiddly doing it this way but I got there in the end! I'll definitely be adding that Sweet Soirée Embellishment Kit to my next order!
