CAS Christmas Card Challenge...Reminder





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


I wanted to use this bow for my decoration and create a realistic window scene. I started by embossing the background with a brick wall EF and placing the 3D Christmas tree inside the window (a gift from my sweet friend, Loll...Thanks, Loll!). The window die-cut is from Etsy and the bow is from The Greetery. The sentiment was stamped on the inside ~  

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 to submit your card! I hope to see you there ~ 


Thanks so much for stopping by,






Supplies:
Dies: The Greetery - Fit to be Tied; 3-D Christmas Tree; Poppystamps - Grand Madison Window
Misc: Tim Holtz Embossing Folder - Brick Wall; Clear Acetate

Barb there isn't anything like a bow to make everything feel like a gift, and more festive! Gorgeous one you have here! I love the 'painted brick' look of your house, with it's perfect picture window for the tree!
A beautiful reminder, my friend!

The fabulous red bow is definitely the star of the show, Barb! I love it! The Christmas tree behind the window is a wonderful color contrast, and the white-on-white texture and dimension is so effective!
