CAS Christmas Card Challenge - Reminder


Hello friends ~ Just a reminder that there is still time to link up your card for the November CAS Christmas Card Challenge. Trina is hosting this month and she has chosen ‘Non-traditional Colors’ for our prompt.


For my non-traditional colors I used distress inks in rainbow order for the die-cut word and stacked it with 2 white die-cuts to add dimension. I used Copic markers to color the holly aqua and placed everything onto a navy blue stitched panel. It was fun using colors other than green & red or silver & blue...Thanks to our brilliant Trina for such a great idea :)

My teamies 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 to submit your card!

Thanks so much for stopping by,






Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko - Big & Bold Merry (Christmas); Picket Fence Studios - On a Christmas Walk (Holly)
Dies: MFT - Stacked Merry Picket Fence Studios - On a Christmas Walk (Holly); MFT - A2 Stitched Rectangles
Misc: Stampin' Up - Clear Gems; Copic Markers; Tim Holtz - Distress Inks; Brutus Monroe - Alabaster White embossing powder

This is gorgeous, Barb! I LOve your beautiful and smooth rainbow ink-distressing on the die-cut sentiment! And the navy blue card base and the white heat-embossed sentiment are perfect for putting all colors together. A wonderful non-traditional color Christmas card!

Gorgeously graphic, Barb ... the simplicity of the vibrant sentiment against the navy background is just delicious ... and the tiny sprig of holly is such a fun touch! Hugs, Anita :)
