Well, friends, so far this month I have just one Christmas card to add to the box. I'm not sure why I was dragging my feet. Summer, I suppose. I did, however, want to play along in Loll's CAS Christmas Challenge where Julia has chosen the theme of "Santa's Sleigh".
I don't have much in the way of Santa's sleigh stamps or dies. I came up with three, but only one that I really wanted to use this year. I combined a Stampendous sentiment with Lavinia's Pippin Mini and The Wishing Tree. Three stamps and some ink blending on a one layer card... it doesn't get much more simple or quick in my craft room!
I stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and clear embossed with fine detail powder. Using torn paper I masked the lower edge for snow, then ink blended over everything with Stampin' Up Almost Amethyst and Brocade Blue. Wiped away excess ink from the embossed sentiment and images, flicked with water, blotted with a paper towel. The mini-slimline card is 3 1/2" x 6".
You know I'm not very good at CAS so I hope it's okay for the challenge. I appreciate the inspiration to create this card as I do love it and I was missing my Lavinia stamps.
Sending thanks to the team at the CAS Christmas Challenge for all the inspiration, and thanks to you for stopping by to visit!
