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!
