Here's another card made especially for two challenges. First the CAS Mix-up Challenge which calls for "Stencils and Embossing Paste." I created the portion with the embossing paste several days ago, and put it aside because I didn't have a design idea for it at the time.
Then I saw the CAS Christmas Challenge asking for a wreath, and it all came together.
Both challenges are back after a three month break, so it's good to have them back!
I applied Nuvo Glitter Embossing Paste through the My Favorite Things "Basket Weave" stencil. I die cut it with one of the circles from Ellen Hutson's "Essential Circles" and then die cut another one from Shimmer Green cardstock which I think came from Papertrey Ink. I used only the frame from that circle. The wreath is "Breezy Wreath" from Poppy Stamps and is die cut from the same shimmer green paper.
The glittery background is so pretty in person, and the wreath with the gold pearls has a lovely shimmer which doesn't show up well in the photo. You can catch a glimpse of it on the sentiment strip which was gold embossed with a sentiment from Gina K's "Sparkle and Shine" set.
It's nice to have another Christmas card in the stash. I'm behind a month in my goal to create 10 Christmas cards each month, but I hope to catch up next week.
