Today, I'm thrilled to be GD at ATCAS! This card won the 'joy' challenge in December (oops, I seem to be in a bit of a 'joy' rut, maybe! lol!) and I was asked to join the DT for the current 'red' challenge.
Where's the red? Here was my CAS theory. By using neutrals for the majority of the card, you couldn't help but focus on the tiny pop of red. Right? Right?
This card makes me happy - it's very CAS but the sparkly berries make it festive in an elegant way.
I used:
MFT Hand-lettered Holiday
Avery Elle Double-pierced rectangle die
PTI Tinsel & Tags Little Sprigs
Sue Wilson 'berry' die.
This is simply stunning love the font of the sentiment x
