CAS Christmas August Challenge - Glitter

Hi there.  The August challenge at CAS Christmas starts today and the theme is Glitter.


My card ended up being part of a twofer.  Here's my CAS version.


This lovely dove die was gifted to me (thanks, Bonnie) and I couldn't think of a better time to use it.  Started by die cutting from masking paper to get the negative silhouette.  Placed the mask onto a Bristol stitched rectangle from my stash and sponged VersaMark ink with a sponge dauber.  Removed the mask then heat embossed with clear glitter embossing powder.


Applied Shaded Lilac distress ink with a blending brush around it and then over a Twisted Sunburst stencil.  Wiped off excess ink with a paper towel.  I had a white peace die-cut in my stash, so I die cut another one from silver foil paper and stacked them for dimension.  Assembled on a white card base to finish.

For more inspirations from my wonderful team and our guest Michelle (Seashell Creations), head on over to the challenge post HERE.  The challenge runs until August 24... hope you will join us with your CAS creations.  Thank you for dropping by and have a lovely day.

Such a beautiful dove with a wonderful sunburst effect, Trina! The clear glitter heat-embossed dove is elegant and peaceful and the silver foil die-cut sentiment makes a great accent against the soft stenciled background. Fabulous CAS holiday card!
