Hello friends ~ Just a reminder that there is still time to link up your card for the September CAS Christmas Card Challenge. Colleen is hosting this month and she has chosen ‘Plaid’ for our prompt.
The plaid panel was created with a stencil, 2 distress oxide inks and a gold pen. I used Peerless watercolors (my faves) for the poinsettia, gold foil cardstock and a scallop border to complete this card ~
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! I hope to see you there ~
Supplies:
Stamps: MFT - Snow Globe Greetings
Dies: Penny Black - Layered Poinsettia; MFT - Stitched Scallop Basic Edges
Stencils: The Stamp Market - Plaid
Misc: Tim Holtz - Watercolor Cardstock, Distress Oxide Inks: Cracked Pistachio, Pine Needles; Peerless Watercolors; Uniball Signo Gold Pen
