CAS142 color challenge Christmas

Photo Details

Poster: nancy littrell

My CAS142 color challenge card. The colors are Ivory, brown and red. I used V Vanilla, Early Espresso and Real Red. I really like how easy, shimmery and elegant this Christmas card turned out. I am going to make at least 3 more. The DP is from a sheet of the glimmer paper in the Holly Berry Bouquet Specialty paper. The DP and sentiment are from the SU Holiday Mini. I went over the sentiment with my Sakura Clear Stardust pen to add more glitter. Also.....no need for extra postage

Thanks again Jen for an awesome CAS challenge. Enjoy

Wow! What a fun card Nancy. I love the variety of strips you used. The fact that it's flat is a great bonus for a holiday card.

Oh, yay!! Such a no extra postage beauty. Love all the stripes and the added texture the ribbon gives it. Nice touch to shimmer up the sentiment.
