CAS Christmas September 2020 - Christmas Tree

Hello friends.  It's time for another CAS Christmas Challenge and our hostess is Colleen this month, and she is looking for a CHRISTMAS TREE on your Christmas cards.


I used a new (to me) Tim Holtz stamp set (Doodle Greetings 2) and a Tim Holtz die (Woodlands) to come up with this card:


I started by using the Woodlands tree die as a stencil and Jelly Bean Green ink (Gina K) and then simply stamped the Doodled Greetings 2 image in black ink over the stenciled tree. 


I matted my card front to a black layer and adhered both to a top folding white card base, and simply finished with a small diamond gem in the center of the top snowflake.  CAS and oh so easy and pretty!

We can't wait to see what you come up using the prompt CHRISTMAS TREE on your cards.  Check out all the inspiration from the rest of the DT and our Special GD right HERE and then play along with us!  We'd love to help you get a head start on those Christmas cards!  This challenge is open till the 24th and remember to keep your cards CAS!!

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
