Hi. If this is your first time visiting, welcome to my crafting blog.

I am honoured to have been asked to do a Guest Design spot with the CASE-ing the Catty crew this week, and we are taking our inspiration from the Bundles on Pages 57 – 73 of the Annual Catalogue.

I have chosen the Happy Birthday card in the centre of Page 60 (see below) as my inspiration.

I have used the layout of the card but changed nearly all of the various aspects. My card features the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set along with some Country Woods Designer Series Paper – a new favourite of mine.

The stamped images have been inked with Memento Black ink, and then coloured with Stampin’ Blends initially to create base colours. The hummingbird was coloured with Bronze, Crumb Cake and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends, with just a touch of Blueberry Bushel. The flowers and leaves with Old Olive, Flirty Flamingo, Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight.

After the Stampin’ Blends I have coloured over the top with Stampin’ Up! Watercolour Pencils to increase the intensity and vibrancy of colour.

Next up on the Blog Hop is Rebecca.

You can find our challenge on Facebook, come and join in the fun, we love to see what you have been creating.

Thanks for joining me today, and I hope you enjoy the inspiration from all the blog hoppers.
Happy stamping!
Chris
