Stampin' Up! Artistic Expressions this week on CTC#93


Hello again for Sunday Night hopping!!  Blog Hopping that is -  with our awesome CASEing the CATTY team where we inspire you with our interpretations of projects in our Catalogue through Copying and Selectively Editing.  
This week we are looking at the HUGE Artistic Expressions Chapter  which has a totally amazing array of choices!!

     

And, as I was SO overwhelmed with choices AND I ran out of time, I've totally CASED this lovely little card featuring Tuscan Vineyard.  I absolutely adore this bunch of grapes and I'm sure this card in the catalogue really encouraged me to purchase this stamp set!!


So here's my little version.  The only difference is the black bakers twine rather than the Elegant Eggplant.  I love the idea of leaving white space when painting, but I think I might have to practice a little!!  My card is not as beautifully painted as the one in the catalogue BUT, I still love it and I think it looks totally gorgeous!!  I'm glad I had a go at CASEing this card.... and I think I might try again soon!!

Now it's time for you to continue your Sunday hopping fun!!  You can go in reverse to see Joyful Judy, or forwards to see Stunning Simone.  Enjoy!!

  

And if you've been inspired, have a go at our monthly challenge and join in the fun.  We love to see your creations too!!

See you next week!!
