PLAID CHRISTMAS

CAS Christmas wants "plaid" as the main theme for their challenge this month.  I have hoarded this gold/kraft cardstock for way too long and so today I broke down and used it.  It's difficult to see the plaid on the cut out leaves so used it in the background of my photo.

First I created a plaid background with a die using the same color card as the base.  I die cut the wreath three times and layered it on the kraft background.  Die cut the large sentiment from some gold and also kraft so I could give it a shadow effect.  Added the black sentiment and a few red enamel berries and done.  I considered not using the plaid background for the wreath, but felt it needed a bit more texture.  Maybe not CAS enough for this challenge, but I'm happy with it.


Thanks for stopping by.

  13. Betty, this is stunning, very clever of you to think to use that plaid and cut out that beautiful wreath with it. I had to check a paper pad that I have that is also kraft and gold...nope not the same, couldn't find plaid, but it did inspire me to leave it out on my desk and use the dots, stripes from the pad etc! Thank you so much for sharing this card with us at CAS Christmas!
