Keep it simple - traditional christmas

Lots of new challeges starting up lately one of them that appeals to me is Keep it simple The common theme for the challege is CAS style and completed in less than 30 minutes. The first challenge is to make a Christmas Card using traditional Christmas colours.

It took the full 30 minutes to make these two, it might have been 31! All materials were pretty much gather together before the clock started, well one stamp was under the bed and the other in the roof space digging those out would have stretched the time limit LOL.   White card foms the base, Merry Christmas has a gold mat and is embossed in green, Red and Green Whisper pens add colour to the holly.   Three little green star gems add a bit of bling.   The two birds have a silver mat over a strip of white and silver ribbon.   Image stamped and embossed in silver Green and Red whisper pens add a sprig of colour.   Silver ribbon knotted for an embellisment.

If you are challenged by CAS style cards and many of us are then this might a fun challege for you as well, they did have a DT call going on don't know if it still is but there might be an opportunity for anyone interested.
