I’m sharing a
quick CAS Christmas card featuring one of Tim Holtz’s blueprint stamps from his
Christmas 3 set.
I chose my image
to fit the current theme at Sparkles Christmas, a good excuse to get some ink
on this stamp, the first in the set I have used. As my image features stripes I am also
entering this in the current challenge at Less is More. Wanting to play there kept me from making this
card at all fancy and I’ve laid off the embellies completely, just dusting the
image and sentiment with clear embossing powder to add a bit of shine and
texture. I did add some layers to my
card with a border of red, mostly so I could echo the red and white stripes of the
candy cane.
Over at AAA Cards
they want to see projects featuring stencils so to fit their theme I added in
my sentiment using one of Tim’s mini stencils.
I chose ‘Joy’ as sucking on a candy cane is one of those joyful, albeit
slightly guilty, traditions at Christmas.
