We are half way through the current Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge entitled CAS-ual Christmas. CAS-ual Fridays Stamps is our sponsor for this challenge which means the LEAD for this challenge will win a $20 gift Certificate to CAS-ual Fridays stamps!I am stretching myself waaay out of my comfort zone and going on to the CAS side for this card. Chose to use this CAS(E) This Sketch sketch, as the poinsettia border was a perfect fit.
The colours are pulled from the inspiration picture, and are not your traditional Christmas colours, and I enjoyed mixing it up a bit. Must admit, this card is sooo not my normal style, but it is growing on me. That's what I love about this hobby - you can always grow as a stamper!
You can check out all the challenge details over on the Curtain Call Inspirations Challenge. You have until November10th at 8:00 a.m. CST to complete a new card/project using the inspiration picture and linking it up accordingly.
Thanks for popping by and hope you can find some time to play along with us!

What a cool sketch and a very pretty Christmas card. I like it bunches.
Marisa, I think your comfort zone has just expanded, because this is an eye-catching, beautiful card! The colours, patterns, bold sentiment and that amazing snowflake are such a striking combination. FABULOUS!

Lovely card, Marisa! Love the fabulous CAS design!
Fantastic stamping Marisa! Way to get out of that comfort zone, something I am not good at. :)
Oh wow! Just gorgeous!

Superb take on both challenges Marisa! love all the pretty little flowers combined with the bold sentiment! :)
Look at you - stepping out! Well done - I sure like that MC stamp~
How brave of you to use that sketch! I thought it was a particularly hard sketch to work with and you made it look so good!
I love this very striking card, Marisa! Excellent design and coloring!! Hugs, Darnell
What a great take on the sketch and inspiration photo Marisa. Love the colors and the rows of tiny poinsettias.
This is sooooo cool! I love your design and colors on this! Stunning! Hugz!
I think you did a great job stretching yourself, this is super cool.
Charming card Marisa!! LOVE the angled panels and sweet patterns and colors!!
This is so cool. I love how you have a lot of design and color on the card but still able to maintain a "easy mail" card that won't break the pocketbook.
Just beautiful!
Bear Hugs,
Carol
