Okay, I'm as shocked as you are that I'm joining in on the CAS challenge this week. It probably took me as long to make this as my intricate cards, but I was determined. Since it doesn't have as many layers and embellishments as I normally do, I would consider this CAS for me. I hope it qualifies.
I used an old Hero Arts Ornament Stamp I've had for years and sparkled it up with stickles and dazzling diamonds. Used the SU diamond square ef, one of my faves, a ribbon and a border punch on the outside and inside of the card. I think that's about all she wrote. All I can think of now is: How did this card take me sooooo long????? I guess I'm out of my league.
Thanks SO much for stopping by and have a great week!
P.S. This CAS challenge was based on using a sketch of Emily's card found here:

Pam, when I saw you had made a Christmas card, I started turning green. LOL Oh, when will I ever get some made? I think this is the most adorable card. Sweet little ornaments and that most beautiful ribbon. Of course, I love that ef and I don't have it. Poor me....
Seriously, I do love this card.

Oh Pamzi - this is a positively wonderful CAS card! You rocked it Fruitflake. And so begins the Christmas Parade in Pamzi's gallery! I know, I know. You've had a couple of Christmas cards in your gallery since last Christmas, but somehow I get the feeling that this one is going to be the one that opens the floodgates. Love that lattice folder. And you even worked out with your punchez. Way to go! Hugzi. RYPH my OPP!

Pam this is just adorable. I love that textured embossing folder-it gives a lot of character and interest to the card. Love the scallops at the bottom too! Such a cute card. tfs

You always make me smile with your background info on how you make your cards. I love your intricate cards so I'm happy to see that you've also managed to tackle CAS as well. Beautifully done, Pam!
