I am playing in the Christmas Card Challenge: Non-Traditional Colors hosted
You still have until the 24th to play along.

My Non-Traditional Colored Christmas Card:-)
I found this Gorgeous Alcohol Ink on Yupo paper background in my stash.
I attached a piece of the background behind the Memory Box
"Watching Deer Circle Die" that I die cut using Strathmore Mixed Media paper.
Then die cut the frame with Spellbinder "Hemstitch Rectangles Die".
Die cut the CUTplorations "Christmas Sentiments Dies" Joyful using more
of the Alcohol Ink background and die cut a 2nd time with 100# cardstock and
attached to Joyful using Connect Glue to pop up the sentiment.
Popped up card front with White craft foam, attached to SU 100# cardbase and Done!
Loved the results of my Quick Clean and Simple card.
Thank you Trina for a fun and easy Christmas Card Challenge. Hugs..

DeleteHow on earth did that end up in your stash? I would have used it immediately with all those yummy colours. It's so pretty behind the simple white frame with the deer. Love the card and thanks for joining us at CAS Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous background colours Nancy! LOVE your CAS design that let's the AI piece be the star. Beautiful card, my friend! xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors Nancy! I would have sworn the deer was inlaid into your background. This looks fantastic with your wonderful choice of frames. Great card!
ReplyDeleteThis alcohol inked piece makes a beautiful background for the elegant stag, Nancy! I love the elegance of the hemstitch frame and the matching sentiment!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful AI background. It is a perfect background for that great die and I love the framed panel too.
ReplyDeleteStunning and unique effect and Wow to that background Nancy x.
ReplyDeleteClearly I need more playtime with backgrounds! To have something this unusual and gorgeous to pull from your stash... that's the way to go. The dies are fabulous. It's just so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of non-traditional Christmas colours but your card is an exception - LOVE those gorgeous colours in the sky. Perfect with just the simple white die cut so that the sky gets to take centre stage.
ReplyDeletep.s. You use that wonderful hemstitch die so often and every time I see it, I want it, so I've finally broken down and ordered it!!
You will LOVE the Hemstitch Die, Susan:-) Keep a toothpick handy for poking out some of the little dots that do not come out:-) Thank you so much my friend for your sweet comment. Love and Hugs...Nancy
DeleteOh, I love this card, Nancy! Your AI background is amazing, and perfect for this challenge! The white deer stands out beautifully against the gorgeous background, and the AI sentiment die-cut against the white card base. The hemstitch frame finishes the card perfectly. Thank you for sharing this beauty in the CAS Christmas gallery! Hugs.. Hideko
