CAS Christmas Challenge Christmas Tree

We all have Tree products..the CAS Christmas Challenge is the perfect time
to get out some trees and add more cards to your Christmas Stash:-)

Thank you Colleen for hosting a fun and easy challenge:-)
Love all the awesome samples by the Design Team and Guest Designer!



My 4 1/4" square Christmas Card

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...

  2. 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

  4. 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.
