CAS Christmas Challenge - Bells


Hi there, blog friends! Our last challenge at CAS Stencil was in May, and I am thrilled to announce that Loll has asked me to join the team at CAS Christmas.  Thank you, Loll!
Our Hostess is Linda and she would like us to use ‘Bells’ on our card...also, our Guest Designer is LeAnne  ~ Here is my card:



These lovely Christmas bells are from Poppystamps. Initially, I used silver foil but no matter how hard I tried, they looked black on screen...plan B was to die cut them in stone gray, and all is well.

We hope you’ll stop by the Challenge Blog and check out all the beautiful Christmas cards by our DT and Guest Designer...the The challenge ends on the 24th, so you have plenty of time to play along with us! 

Thanks so much for stopping by,






Supplies:
Stamps: Papertrey Ink - Keep It Simple: Christmas
Dies: Poppystamps - Silver Bells; MFT - Stitched Scallop Basic Edges
Misc: Altenew - Antique Silver EP; Pretty Pink Posh - Silver Sequins

Photography with metallic cardstock can be so frustrating, can't it?! The gray made a perfect substitute though Barb, and your card is CAS perfection...love it!! :0)

Loll said...

Silver foil is so hard to photograph!! Your stone gray bells look beautiful with all the white on your card. Wonderful CAS design Barb. So happy to have you on the team! xx

Love your layout Barb. those bells are so pretty. I'm sure they looked amazing in silver but so hard to photograph :)

These bells are so cute. I know what you mean about trying to photograph foil and have re-done cards myself because of it. Fabulous CAS design. And welcome to the team!

What a pretty CAS Christmas card, Barb! I know how hard to take a photo of anything shiny! The soft gray worked wonderfully and the bells look so elegant. The stitched scallop edge makes a wonderful design element. I'm so happy to be on the same Design Team with you! :-)

Congrats on joining the CAS Christmas team, Barb! Just love your pair of bells on the angled border - so pretty!!

I don't like it when foil colors turn black in photos. Sometimes foil is the right paper to use but in this case the gray looks fantastic, Barb, and the scalloped edge and angled sentiment finish your card of beautifully.

Welcome to the CAS Christmas team, Barb! Looking forward to having you with us. This is a fabulous CAS card with a great layout. The stone gray is perfect for the bells and I love the scattering of sequins.

Cathy said...

Love the angled design and that pretty scalloped border, perfect for showcasing the bells, gorgeous CAS card, Cathy x

I know right, I love shiny on my cards but the photography does my head in lol. Your choice of grey was a fabulous option for your sweet CAS design Barb!
