CAS Christmas Card Challenge - Reminder


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




   I think the leaves and sprigs in this set are really elegant and deserved the Nordic Frame around the border. I used 2 shades of Altenew gray ink for contrast and added a bold red die-cut sentiment...and that was it!

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 ~ 

Thanks so much for stopping by,







Supplies:
Stamps: The Greetery - All Blessings Flow
Dies: The Greetery - All Blessings Flow, Nordic Frames; MFT - Joy die
Misc: MFT - Wild Cherry cardstock; Altenew - Silver Lake, Evening Gray cardstock

Love the way "joy" takes centre stage! Beautiful framing with the red card base peeking through and also a beautiful spray of foliage.

Beautiful CAS design Barb, I'm not sure I've used red and grey together, but it looks amazing!

Beautiful card, Barb. I love the Nordic Frame with the red peeking through. I think red and gray will become a new Christmas color option.

CAS perfection, Barb, and you are right, the frame is a perfect accent for your design!

Your leaves and sprigs look so pretty in the two grays and layered in the corner Barb. Your red sentiment really pops in the center and the Nordic framing is lovely with the red peeking through the holes in it! xx
