Happy hot Saturday, peeps! I have another Christmas card today to try to cool us off, LOL! It fulfills three challenges: the FMS sketch, the CTD color palette and the CAS Christmas Card Challenge:
I found the FMS sketch a little tricky, hopefully it is CAS enough for the Christmas challenge, too! So here we go:
I happened to have a few strips of this beautiful Photoplay DSP in my "hoard", and I backed them with some silver foil strips for the background. Can you see the angels? Aren't they pretty? I then diecut three snowflakes from the Seasonal Layers dies using Rococo Rose cardstock. They were a little too dark for my liking, so I used my aquapainter and some white craft ink to give them a white wash, then once they were dry, coated them with Wink of Stella:
I put a pretty SU Metallic Silver Pearl in the center of each one, then I did a little creative combining of some of the huge stash of Christmas sentiments I have to stamp the inside:
Thanks for popping in today--be sure to come back tomorrow for a new Paper Players challenge!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!

This is so pretty LeAnne - love those papers! A great CAS Christmas card. I made a card with these colours yesterday too and had a brainwave on that sketch, so I’m hoping to put that card together today! Stay cool my friend - it rained all day here yesterday but we’re supposed to be getting temps into the 100s by midweek, so I might be joining you!
ReplyDeleteOh so very pretty, LeAnne! This card is for sure to keep you cool in this heat! Love those Rococo Rose Snowflakes with your soft gray DSP! This is a pretty color combo and I love your holiday sayings! Well done on fulfilling all 3 challenges! Stay cool....hopefully this heatwave will be ending soon! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty. I like what you did with the whitewash. I see lots of white space so it's CAS enough for me. That patterned paper is gorgeous. I love how you used "hoard" instead of "stash"...lol. Cassidy is maturing before our very eyes.
