CAS Christmas September 2021

I love a plaid and that's what CAS Christmas wants to see on our cards.  I hope I get extra points for making my own plaid.

I used a background stamp from Concord and 9th, stamping it in CP Rouge ink.  I added Altenew Mountain Pine in the centers of the white spaces.  It didn't look plaid enough or Christmasy enough so I heat embossed gold through the red portions.  Luckily I had received the sentiment die free with an order from Scrapbook.com.  I heat embossed it with the same gold and stacked it up.  I'm way behind in my Christmas card making but at least I have one more card for my stash

You've earned extra points from me for making that pretty plaid! I've even thrown in a bonus point or two for the gold sentiment. Fabulous card, Bobby!

CAS and just perfect Bobby! And YES, you do get 10 extra credit points for making your own plaid!! I have that C&9 plaid stamp too, but haven't used it in ages because of all the stenciling plaids I've bought this past year! But I love, LOVE the addition of the green and embossed gold lines to your red plaid...definitely merry and festive! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Christmas Bobby!! Hugs. Marcia (DT) :0)
