This month's CAS Christmas Card Challenge is hosted by our talented Designer, Nance. We have a wonderful Guest Designer, Birgit.
Nance chose Wreath as the challenge. Isn't is fun just to think of holiday wreaths in different colors and textures?
I went with this simple one as my first wreath card.
I die-cut the white wreath outline twice and layered them, and inlaid the green die-cuts (leaves). I die-cut the dove and the sentiment and stamped a part of the sentiment in black. I layered two die-cut sentiments. Everything was glued on the linen textured card base.
Please check out the challenge blog to see Birgit's pretty Wreath Christmas card, along with the cards made by the rest of our Designers. I'm sure you'll be inspired to play along! The challenge is open until September 24.
