My 4 1/4" square Christmas Card
I I was thrilled to find a piece of alcohol ink on a tag in my stash!
It almost looks like Northern Lights...I think!
I even had the square die cut card front tucked into the Memory Box "Stitched
Circle Trees" Die envelope.
I cut the background from the tag, which has a shiny surface and so worked with the
alcohol ink. Attached background to back of die cut card front.
Added Connect Glue to the background, trees and snow bank and sprinkled
liberally with SU Dazzling Diamond Glitter.
Placed card front in MISTI and stamped the STAMPlorations "Homespun Christmas"
stamp set sentiment using Archival black ink.
Attached card front to SU Whisper White 100# card base and Done!
I think I will be searching my background boxes for more backgrounds:-)
This is an easy CAS design for making multiple Christmas Cards.
Thank you Colleen and CAS Christmas Challenge for helping me make
my Christmas Stash Grow:-) Hugs...

ReplyDeleteThe 'bit's in my stash are crumpled and rubbish! Nothing like this! x
Love that background. it is amazing what you can find with a search through left over or discarded bits. i often fine things that I thought were rubbish when I made them and then think they are pretty good when I go back, very strange. glad you made use of your leftovers for this stunning card xx
ReplyDeleteNancy it surely does look like the Northern Lights!! Such a beautiful, perfect find for your card, and backdrop for these pretty little trees!

The first thing I thought was how it looks like northern lights. Very cold and crisp winter scene, and beautiful with the snow and sparkles. It's a whole lot of fun to have ready made backgrounds to sift through when you need something, especially when you have so many pretty ones like this.
ReplyDeleteOh Nancy, this is just beautiful! Your AI background is stunning, has elements of the Northern sky! And your added glitter just makes the snow glisten! Thank you so much for joining us at CAS Christmas!
ReplyDeletewow Nancy, stunning background for your snowy tree line. Isn't it wonderful when you find just the perfect piece in your stash. Thanks for joining us at CAS Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteWow, the sparkle is beautiful and I don't know how you got that result with alcohol inks that looks like Northern Lights but it is beautiful.

ReplyDeleteThis is lovely Christmas tree card, Nancy! The square card is perfect for the beautiful circle die-cut, and your gorgeous AI background is amazing! It does look like the Northern Lights.
