CAS Christmas Card Challenge


Hi there, blog friends! It’s time for the September challenge at CAS Christmas. Our Hostess is Colleen and she has chosen ‘Plaid’ for our prompt. Our Guest Designer is Melanie (Cards by Melanie ).


Such a simple card...I used my PTI 'Plaid' cover plate for my front panel and added a sentiment with gold foil cardstock. The cute little holly is from an old PTI set and the red gems are from my stash. 
Here's a close-up of that lovely plaid pattern:



We hope you’ll stop by the Challenge Blog and check out all the beautiful Christmas cards by our DT and Guest Designer...The challenge ends on the 24th, so you have plenty of time to play along with us...It’s a great way to add some beautiful cards to your Christmas card stash! I hope to see you there ~ 




Thanks so much for stopping by,






Supplies:
Dies: MFT - Merry Christmas; PTI - Holly Jolly
Misc: PTI Cover Plate - Picnic Plaid; MFT - Gold Foil cardstock; Red Gems - stash

Love this subtle plaid design Barb! It's just perfect to show off the gorgeous gold foil sentiment. The holly and berries add just small pops of colour. Fantastic CAS design, my friend! xx

White on white is always elegant, Barb, but adding gold die cuts takes your card to the top of the gorgeous designs list.
