CAS Christmas October Challenge - season's greetings

Hi everyone,

It's time for another new challenge at CAS Christmas!

Our talented Designer, Marcia (Marcia's Stampin' Pad), wants you to make a clean and simple card using Gray and Red. 
We're so happy to have Darnell (djkardkreations) as Guest Designer this month! Welcome, Darnell!


Here's my card:



[How I made the card]

1. Hot foiled the frame on a white front panel.

2. Stamped the trees on the front panel, using masking and zig-colored them in gray.

3. Hot foiled the sentiment on the front panel.

4. Stamped the heart tree on a piece of velum, pencil-colored the tree from the back, fussy-cut the image, and glued it onto the gray trees.

5. Added some red glitter dots for a little shine.

6. Adhered the front panel to the card base.

    The contemporary grey trees look fabulous Hideko and even more so with the red coloured heart tree cut from vellum over the top, and love the sparkly red dots, and the gold foiled frame and sentiment go beautifully too. x

    Very creative and artsy design, Hideko! When I first saw the photo, I thought "how did you get the red heart tree to stand out so much. So clever to stamp onto vellum and fussy-cut. What a beautiful card you've made with the challenge colours! xx

    Beautiful! Such a creative design, Hideko! From the second photo, your heart tree on vellum looks amazing. Love how you featured these colours and incorporate foiling… I still need to get some frame foil plates and start using my foiling machine more.

    What a unique and contemporary design and I love the layering effect of the trees. This is why I enjoy reading blogs as you get to read how things are done and get hugely inspired and today is one of those days....Thank you Hideko x.
