Poetic Petals Online Exclusive CTC#587




Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.


Tonight you get to enjoy our amazing CASEING the CATTY blog hop.  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 from the ONine Exclusive collection available this month!!  



I've chosen to CASE the lovely Poetic Petals bundle in the recent collection - it has some very interesting dies that I was keen to try!  And when you go onto the website, one of the projects featured is this one below - which was my inspiration this week.


At first I wanted to change up the orientation, and then I added some score lines in the background for texture - but then changed the whole looks by creating the square feature seperately.



I've used Shaded Spruce for the cardstock, and then the lovely Autumn Woodland Glimmer paper behind for the glorious sparkle!  I tried the same card both ways, but if you look closely you will see that I have changed the way the score lines feature on each of the cards.  They are debossed for the portait style and embossed for the landscape style.  


There are some really lovely sayings in the stamp set!!  


I love the white on white elegance with the huge pop of colour!


My final touch was some Sparkle Sequins for the flower centres.


Up next is the extraordinary Rebecca

Colourful Leaves Colour INKsprirating #217


Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.


Tonight I'm joining in with the Colour INKspiration crew and our awesome colour combination!!



Oohhhh these gelato colours are sooooo pretty!!!


I've used the really lovely Botanical Leaves Hot Foil die with Silver Hot Foil.


All the leaves come from the amazing Luscious Leaves Hot Foil dies, and the label for the greeting from the Frames & Flourishes Hot Foil dies.  


The stamped words come from the Words & Wishes stamp set in Coastal Cabana ink.


I do like the white on white details.
