CAS Christmas

Good Morning all, i hope you had a good weekend.

Time for the last challenge of the year over at Make My Monday

The theme for the next 2 weeks is

CAS CHRISTMAS
So Clean & Simple designs



A6 white card blank.  Ive gone with a completely flat one layer design, again making use of a die that cuts into the card so adds extra interest and depth.  I added a coloured insert to contrast with the ink i used. 

I first die cut the snowflake burst into the cardbase to the right side.  I then used purple wink of stella pens and the wet into wet technique around the snowflakes.  Once dry i added a white die cut angel.  A pale teal patterned paper as the insert to peak through the snowflakes, i used a strip of this paper on the front left edge with a strip of card coloured with the same wink of stella pens just to tie all the colours & design together. 

I found this tiny joy to the world sentiment stamp from Penny Black in my stash which was the perfect fit for the bottom right corner. 


A close up, you can see the teal inside peeking through, just about making out some of the sparkle.  The Echo Park Angel die is the perfect size for the middle of the memory box snowflake burst die.




2 tones of blue wink of stella pens, sadly the photos don't pick up the amazing sparkle they give.  And yellow insert


Showing the yellow shining through


orange/red version.


Close up, you can just see the sparkle.
