CAS Christmas - October 2021

Marcia is hosting the CAS Christmas challenge and I knew right away what I wanted to use for her gray and red color scheme.  

The Vintage Lantern is from PTI, stamped with gray Altenew inks.  I cut three more lanterns from white, stacked them together and sandwiched vellum between those and the stamped one.  Using an embossing pen, I colored the corner of the 'glass' and the roof and embossed with Puff embossing powder adding a touch of glitter. The sentiment was stamped directly to the card base and the lantern secured over it.  The bow is from PinkFresh colored with alcohol markers.   

If you have a lot of Christmas cards to make why not check out this challenge to get you motivated.  The Design Team is sure to inspire you.  You have until the 24th to enter a card.

Oh, fun! What a winning design this is, Bobby! I love the weathered look of the lantern and how you added the bits of snow and the vellum for the glass - cloudy, just like it would be! The bow adds a ton of interest! Hugs, Darnell (CCCC GD)
