One Layer Christmas CASE

Hi Everyone,

I am combining two Christmas challenges here. One is CASEing Christmas, where my blogging friend Rosi made a beautiful card for us to CASE - you'll see it below. And the second challenge is Shery's One Layer Christmas card challenge. Here the optional twist is use an angel. 
Now it does not look good in the angel department in my stash, but I have one, never used until now....its from Inkadinkadoo.


I did a lot of masking and some sponging. Used a pearlescent embossing powder by Sparkles and Sprinkles.  The sentiment is from STAMPlorations.


Vignette: Christmas Block
Here is Rosi's gorgeous card. 




I guess I'll start now making Christmas cards - so I won't run into problems by the time Christmas rolls around, which I guess will be about ...tomorrow....

Happy Stamping!

Fantastic card, Cornelia! Love that embossing powder you used. Great colours and design. Funny that you used the same stamp I did on my card. :-). So happy to see you playing along with us at OLCCC! Hope you play again. :-)

Steht denn schon wieder Weihnachten vor der Tür??? Eigentlich möchte ich erst mal so richtig schön warm Sommer haben.
Aber es ist schon richtig: man kann gar nicht früh genug anfangen, vor allem, wenn man so schöne Karten macht wie du!!!
Liebe Grüße,
Flo

Stunning. That ne angel has served you well. She's gorgeous embossed but to layer with red (or is that pink) ink is brilliant.

Cornelia, your card is STUNNING! You glowing angel, the red flourishes, the blue surroundings, the sentiment = perfection. Indeed, I think this could be your Christmas go-to card should you need to mass produce (although I suspect that you, as I am, aren't fond of making multiples of the same thing). Love it...

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful! Mirror Image stamp ,  Two Cats in a Tree If you want a video tutorial on how to do this I can highly recommend you watch THIS VIDEO on youtube. Explains it all in very little time! Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
