Hi there, blog friends! It’s time for the August challenge at CAS Christmas. Our Hostess is the amazing Trina and she has chosen ‘Pine’ for our prompt. We have 2 Guest Designers this month ~ Elizabeth from Paper Sweetness and Lucie from Lucie G Cards.
I started by embossing a panel with Richard Garay's Pine Needles EF, then adding my NBUS sentiment from The Greetery. Lastly, I mounted the panel on a red card base and added a few red gems...quick and CAS! Here is a close-up of the embossed panel ~
We hope you’ll stop by the Challenge Blog and check out all the beautiful Christmas cards by our DT and Guest Designers. 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 ~
Supplies:
Stamps: The Greetery - Opposites Attract
Dies: The Greetery - Opposites Attract
Misc: Richard Garay - Pine Needles Embossing Folder; Red Gems - Stash
Beautiful CAS design indeed!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Barb, love the delicate embossed pine in the background ♥
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Barb using the tradtional red, green and white. The pine embossed background is a wonderful backdrop for your sweet noel sentiment with holly. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fresh idea to use the prompt (pine) in the background, Barb! The embossed pine boughs are subtle but add so much interest to the open white space. The holly with shiny red berries is so cute!

How clever of you Barb to dry emboss your pine cones to add texture to your background while leaving all the beautiful White Space and then just adding a die cut sentiment and holly and berries. Perfectly CAS my friend. TFS
ReplyDeleteSuch an awesome CAS design with the subtle pine background. Really looks stunning.
ReplyDeleteBarb... the embossed pine branches make the perfect CAS card! Thank you so much for asking me to GD this month!
ReplyDeleteYou used one of my favorite embossing folders Barb, and how perfectly it worked for this PINE challenge...lovely, lovely card!!
ReplyDeleteHave you had any luck finding the baby formula for your granddaughter? My daughter and I are still keeping our eye out, but the shelves are still mostly bare here. Sure hope someone has been able to help!!
A sweet holly adorning your bold Noel Barb! at first I thought you missed the pine bit! and then saw the wonderful embossed background of the pine boughs! The red card base frames your white panel perfectly! xx
ReplyDeleteAdorable and festive card! Wonderful CAS design . Great idea to incorporate the pine theme as the background.
ReplyDeleteLovely EF background with the pine. Barb and you enhanced it so beautifully with the red and green Noel.
