Christmas Song

It is like a warm sunny summer's day here today so it seems even more strange than usual to be sharing a Christmas Card!
CAS Christmas this month has the challenge of 'Christmas Song'.

This card shape is a bit of a change for me - I found two of these at the back of a drawer so thought I should use them.

The crown stamp is very old and very neglected! Stamped and gold embossed then layered each onto a piece of gold glitter card. I didn't like them just added onto the card base so put another layer of white card on glitter card - and stuck the 3 crowns on - happier now!

I made a second card whilst the stamp was out - using up odd bits of card - I have a feeling I made something like these once before some time back!
Anyway it's 2 more for the Christmas box, so have achieved something!

I'll be back later with my reminder post for CAS Stencil but am popping outside with my cuppa to enjoy the sunshine for an hour.

Hope the sun is shining where you are too. x

These have worked well. I'm guessing these are DL cards - a shape I always find a bit of a challenge and tend to prefer them used horizontally which I find easier to compose for some reason.

Both cards are fab Viv. A bit of a change to the usual Santa & snowman ones. I think I had these stamps from Elusive Images and donated them to a craft charity. I wish I hadn't now, wont be doing that again lol X

These are very elegant and fabulous, Viv! I love them. Simply beautiful. I bought a pack of DL cards not long ago, and used 2 lol. I am so much more comfortable with squares! Have you seen the published guidance from the police this evening? I think you would be very justified in driving a short distance for your walk,especially as you are not getting the exercise without it x

What a classy and elegant Christmas card in the gold and white and both versions are perfectly CAS x.

Oh, I do love your golden crowns card. It's beautiful.

Susan said...

The crowns are the perfect stamp for We Three Kings. Love them layered onto the gold glitter cs. I really like both orientations. Thanks so much for making a card for CAS Christmas.

Pat said...

The crowns look great Viv and love them gold embossed and coloured and framed in two different ways but both work beautifully. x

Matting and paneling can make all the difference and I think the way you did this on the golden version of the card made it look very elegant. You also chose a good color for matting the colored crowns.
