I am playing in the CAS Christmas Card Challenge using Kraft, Red and White colors and hosted by the very talented Loll.
Be sure and check out the beautiful creative cards by the DT and GD.
The team is celebrating the CAS Christmas Challenge's 3rd Birthday too😊
And there are prizes if you follow the rules😀
I do love Kraft, Red and White colors for Christmas. Enjoy!
I cut a piece of Strathmore Mixed Media Tan paper 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" then stamped the Colorado Craft Co. "Big and Bold Slimline Poinsettias" with Versafine Black ink using MISTI. Heat embossed images with SU Clear EB powder.
I did stamp the images off the edge and did not color for a more CAS design. Stamped the greetings from the same set with Versa Magic Cloud White ink and heat embossed with Wow White EB powder.
Next sponged edge with DOX Candied Apple using i-Crafter i-Brush. Layered main image over SU Whisper White 100# cardstock and attached to "4 x 9" Slimline card base. Added Nuvo Crystal Drops White Blizzard to the center of each flower for a pretty glittery shine and Done!
Sharing photo of the the shine from the heat embossing and Crystal Drops.

A wonderful slimline card, Nancy - it really allows you the space to do that fabulous layout with the poinsettias at the top and bottom, and the sentiment in the middle. Love the shine of the embossing powder and the Crystal Drops.

Thanks for the heads up at Christmas Card Throwdown, Trina and your sweet comment. You would LOVE this set:-) Love and Hugs..Nancy
DeleteGorgeous poinsettia CAS card, Nancy! I love how you used the challenge colors! Leaving the poinsettias uncolored/Kraft and sponging the edges in red is unique and wonderful! The off-the-edge layout adds so much interest to the card and the shine from the heat-embossing and Nuvo drops is pretty! Happy to see your card in the CAS Christmas gallery. Thank you! Hugs.. Hideko
ReplyDeleteThank you Hideko for your thoughtful comment. It was a challenge to keep my card CAS, but loved how it turned out. Love and Hugs..Nancy
DeleteWhat a GORGEOUS card Nancy! I've been eyeing that CCC set too and it just may have to go in the card after seeing this beautiful card! You used the challenge colors beautifully and I love the soft edging you gave the kraft layer with the red ink...sooo pretty! Lovely, lovely card my friend and thanks so much for playing along with us at CAS Christmas!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteYou would Love this set, Marcia. It is very versatile! Thanks for your sweet comment. Love and Hugs...Nancy
DeleteA stunning slim line card, Nancy. I like that you left the poinsettias white and the black, shiny embossed really makes them pop. The soft color around the edge is lovely. I had to go check out what an i-crafter i-brush was. What a cool tool that is.
ReplyDeleteWhat an elegant and beautiful CAS card. The colour combination looks fabulous and your stamping with the heat embossing looks so pretty Nancy x.
ReplyDeleteYou made the most perfect slimline and simple Christmas card in these colors, Nancy! I do love the look of it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your slimline design Nancy! Those poinsettias are gorgeous ... love them stamped off the edge to give you lots of open space. The embossing makes them shine, along with the nuvo drops in the center of the flowers. Great framing with the sponged edge. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lolly. I Love how versatile this set can be:-) Love and Hugs..Nancy
DeleteThis colour combo is also one of my favourites for Christmas. that Colorado Craft Co stamp is on my list, love what you did with it Nancy ♥
ReplyDeleteI love the poinsettias stamped off the page and making a perfect frame, Nancy! Wonderful use of these colors and shine!
ReplyDeleteSo elegant, Nancy, in the long frame and that lovely colour combo.
ReplyDeleteWell great minds definitely do think alike Nancy - I have been making a poinsettia card today and almost went for that very layout! (I didn't in the end.) I love your shiny poinsettia outlines and the way you left them uncoloured. And that crisp white frame - I love how it pops!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment :) I haven't seen the pheasants again so I think they must have been scared away and will build their nest somewhere safer I hope. Glad you're enjoying the spring outdoors! Hugs, Vicky x
