CAS Christmas Challenge - Reminder


Hello, friends ~ Just a reminder that there is still time to link up your card for the October CAS Christmas Card Challenge. Christine is hosting this month and she has chosen ‘Christmas Birds’ for our prompt.



I started by using my new rectangle stencil (MFT) to create a soft blue background for the bird, which was die cut with white glitter cardstock. I used vellum for the twig and gold EP for the simple sentiment. Lastly, I placed the panel onto a 5x7 gold foil background...and that was it ~ 

My teammates have created some beautiful cards to inspire everyone ~ Come on over to the challenge blog to check them out, and play along with us if you like! You have until the 24th and it's a great way to add to your Christmas card stash!

Thanks so much for stopping by,






Supplies:
Stamps: Paper Rose - Christmas Bells (sentiment)
Dies: MFT - Peace on Earth (Dove and branch)
Stencils: MFT - Rectangle Extraordinaire
Misc: SSS - White glitter cardstock, Ultrafine Gold embossing powder

Such a lovely dove card, Barb! The contrast of the sparkle of the gorgeous dove and the soft blue sponging enhances the beauty of the dove! Love that you used vellum for the twig instead of white or colored cardstock.

Beautiful and elegant Christmas card Barb! Your peace dove is so sparkly and I love the softness of the vellum leaf sprig. Great design by sponging the frame for bird. The gold accents are so shiny. xx
