For today’s CAS Colours & Sketches challenge, I’m using the Merry Tags Framelits Dies. Yes, another Christmas card. I’ll work on some non-holiday ones soon!
Here’s the sketch which inspired my card:
I decided that in order to keep my card CAS, I’d use embossing to add the second background whilst keeping the colour the same I chose whisper white and the pine bough TIEF. Once I had that, I added a sentiment from Star of Light in emerald envy before adhering the mat to the whisper white extra thick card base. This left the oval type element.
A couple of days ago, I’d used the Merry Tags Framelits Dies and created a tag but ended up with some leftovers. I figured that they could be useful and glued them to a piece of whisper white before cutting it out with one of the new ovals framelits. I popped it up with dimensionals to finish the card.
I hope that you’ll pop over to the challenge blog and check out what the rest of the team have created.
See you tomorrow,

Clever use of embossing for the frame, love how subtle it looks. And the simple colour choice is perfect.
Awesome CAS style! Love the subtlety from the embossing; cool interpretation of the sketch!
I love the look of the white-on-white here with just the few pops of green. You’re a CAS rock star! 🙂
Thanks Patricia – it was a struggle, but I’ve found that often when I struggle, I’m happiest with the results. So thanks for the struggle-making sketch!
CAS perfection, love the subtle embossed pine detail and the simple stamped Christmas Tree design and sentiment – LOVE it! Hugs Bev x
Thanks Bev – as I told Patricia, I found this sketch really hard and sometimes that seems to spawn a card that I really like. 🙂
