This weeks Twisted Sister Challenge is to make a CAS Christmas card - well...this is so not my comfort zone, I love eclectic and vintage, which is right at the other end of the scale. Don't get me wrong I LOVE other peoples CAS cards but they don't seem right for me...and this is a classic example, although I did push the boundaries a little bit and sponged around the edges - oops!
I used an embossed piece of CS that Kathy (aka Wattle) sent me and added a strip of Apple Pie Dish that has been through the Cuttlebug - and you know how I love that! I added a stamped image that I received in a RAK from Krafty Kylie months ago, I chalked it and added silver Kindy Glitz - is that allowed in CAS style, I am not really familiar with the 'rulz!' LOL! The tree image has been attached with foam dots to give it dimension!
So...I have shown this to our household and the consensus is..DH says it look great, Mum said it would be alright for a beginner (I am guessing she is more of an eclectic kind of girl, who made her first card yesterday) my sister thinks it look good (she also made her first card yesterday)...what about you - who can guess what I think...!!??!
Thanks for looking and for you comments - I would love to hear what you think...I am going to have to refrain from adding more....wonder how long I am going to last with that! LOL! You can find me on my Blog: http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blogspot.com/

Oh Linda I think it is very very pretty you did well for a style you are not that keen on. Don't you just love Mom's they give you their honest oppion but this is probably because you have taught her your style of vintage and eclectic which is where your passion is and your mom has fallen in love with that style now. I see it a bit like school if you have a subject you are still keen on you can probably put it down to the teacher you had who was full of passion and enthusiasm for the subject it makes it easier to learn when there is exitement with anything I should now it was my next door neighbor who got me into making cards she could talk for hours and hours about it with excitement well you did ask what do you think haha, sorry for going on so........
