Which Technique is your favourite? CTC#575


 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 a technique from the catalogue!!


I've cased the lovely card in the middle from page 23 of the catalogue featuring the lovely Valley in Bloom Suite.  This card features a bunch of techniques!  Embossing, colouring with Stampin' Blends, Tearing, Paper Piecing.


My card is almost identical - I've changed the colours a little and added some leaves for the lillies.


My colours are Pool Party, Granny Apple Green, Cherry Cobbler and Lemon Lolly.


After I made the first card, then I wondered what it would look like with more white.


So I embossed some of the Luxe White specialty paper using the Foral Spray embossing folder.  


Which do you prefer?


Inside the card I've painted the lillies using White Ink and Blender Pens to replicate the flowers from the front of the card.  
Up next is the extraordinary Rochelle

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

Check out our Facebook group for lots more inspiration!
