Great color combo

Bonnie has a great challenge for the https://caschristmascardchallenge this month using red, white and kraft. This is such a wonderful color combination that I wanted to jump right in. I used Catherine Pooler Sand Castle ink to be the kraft and inked up the Sizzix poinsettia embossing folder. Using a Poppy clear stamp I stamped the sentiment in red ink and mounted the panel on SU red cardstock.

I love all the cards submitted for this challenge so far. 




Be kind to one another.

Beautiful. I love the look of white on Kraft. Your poinsettias are gorgeous. I love the sentiment on vellum, it does not hide the flowers.

This is so gorgeous! I love the way you used the embossing folder design by cutting it out and mounting it onto the kraft.

There's that gorgeous embossing again! Love it inked with the "kraft"! The vellum sentiment is beautiful and lets the poinsettia shine through! Love the pop of the red!

One of my favourite 3D embossing folders, I love what you did with it for the Red, Kraft and white challenge. I must remember to use velum for my sentiments (great inspiration). Thanks for joining us at CAS Christmas :)

Cathy said...

This on the kraft white poinsettia really pops Brenda, looks wonderful on the kraft with the red border. Great idea to use vellum for the sentiment too, thankyou for playing along at CAS Christmas, Cathy x

Brenda said...

I love this color combo too Brenda, it just works doesn't it?! Your card turned out stunning! I am so loving that beautiful embossing folder you used. I need to ink up my embossing folders more often, it sure gives a beautiful look and lets the embossed part pop. Love how your poinsettias pop off the kraft colored background. I have been cutting my papers for join in this challenge too and so agree with you in there there hasn't been a card posted for this challenge that I'm not in love with. Hugs, Brenda

This is stunning, Brenda! Your white dry embossed poinsettia is absolutely gorgeous and eye-catching! Wonderful use of the ef technique, and so clever to use the vellum sentiment strip! It doesn't block the beautiful image behind it. Thank you so much for sharing this beauty at CAS Christmas!

How beautiful! I love the color combo, too, but haven't tried to make a card. Maybe I will instead of cleaning!

Such a peaceful, fantastic design holiday season design. I hugely admired the fact that you've begun making your Christmas cards this early on in the year. If I manage to get even so much as one of mine complete before Halloween, it is nothing shy of a small miracle. :D
