CAS Christmas March 2020 Reminder

Hey everyone - just a reminder that you have until the 24th to enter your clean & simple card to this month's CAS Christmas Card Challenge. I'm guest designing this month and created a card for the reminder post. We're doing winter flowers and I used a beautiful Tim Holtz poinsettia die. Also, they're celebrating their 2nd birthday and there are prizes this month!!

Supplies: Paper - DCWV A2 shimmer green card; Momenta Watercolor;
Neenah Classic Crest Solar White; Poptone Black Licorice
Dies - Tim Holtz Poinsettia Pieces;
Other - Lemon Stickles

I put a double sided adhesive sheet (by Sizzix) behind the white paper so I could stick it to the card and easily inlay the pieces. A bit fiddly but I like how it turned out! I cut the Peace three times from black cardstock and layered them together. The paper was thick so I left one in the negative and used it as a guide to layer the other two - worked slick!

Since I had the pink negative, I trimmed it out and used it on another card. The Joy came from the same Momenta set as the Peace - very fun set and it was on sale at Hobby Lobby. Doesn't seem to be on Momenta's site any more... I added a gem to the O - it's embossed with a snowflake which didn't show up well on the dark blue paper. The gems are from Michaels - that boxed set that has about 480 gems in it!!

    It might have been fiddly, but well worth the effort - love the end results! And to get a second card from the process is great! Thanks so much for being our GD at CAS Christmas this month.
