A lot of things came together with these two cards. After receiving the Altenew Festive Greenery, 3-D Embossing folder and stencil I decided to challenge myself to come up with some different designs after creating two pretty traditional designs I posted here. Shortly afterwards, I watched a video by Ardyth where she created a two-fer using circle dies and decided to give it a try. Before I finished, the Just Us Girls new challenge appeared: CAS and In a Circle.
The first card definitely goes to the JUGS Challenge as well as the challenges listed at the end of the post which fit either/or/both cards.
I die cut a circle from one of the stenciled panels, attached an ornament hanger from The Greetery's Jumbo Curiosity: Round Ornament, and tied a gold bow on it. The sentiment is from Memory Box.
To add a bit of interested to this very CAS card, I die cut a panel with Pinkfresh Studio's Rounded and Braided Rectangles and attached it all to a white card base.
I added the stencil panel to a red card base and then inlaid the red frame and white circle with the sentiment from Penny Black's Happy and Bright collection.
There are, not surprisingly, a lot of holiday themed challenges in the works. I'm sending these off to Inkspirational: Seasonal and Time Out: Winter Holiday.
