Catalog Case Page 207

One of the big decisions when doing catalog cases: Do I start at the front of the catalog and work backwards, do I start at the back of the catalog and work forward, or do I choose randomly? I tend to buck the rules, I think it is the creative part of me, so I am choosing to make random choices. On page 207 there is a 3x3 card design I am casing today. I made mine a full size card.

The ingredients are:

Paper: Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral, First Addition DSP

Ink: Peach Parfait and Lucky Limeade

Stamp Set: Flower Fest

Accessories: Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding, Basic Pearls, Scallop Edge Border punch, Fancy Flower Extra-large punch

Technique: I scored the Calypso Coral paper in both directions at 1/2 inch intervals. I like the texture that it adds to the card.

I am trying something different with the new catalog. Through the year I will be casing cards from the 2011 - 2012 catalog. I also am going to try to include the products I use to put the cards together. (In the back of my mind this feels like a new years resolution and I hope I am more successful than I am come mid January.)

This card is from the top of page 12.

I also wanted to give you a couple of closeups on the ribbon. I am not sure how it was done in the catalog, but I crinkled the ribbon in my hand and then made the bow. I like how it turned out and hope you do too.
