Hello! We have one last challenge for you this month at CAS Colours & Sketches and this time it’s a sketch challenge.
After browsing through my craft supplies and looking for images and dies that would work with the sketch, I decided to use my snowflake dies for the star elements of the sketch. I originally planned to cut them from shimmery white cardstock and add a bit of blue ink to them to give them some definition. But in my folder of shimmery cardstock, I found some leftovers from when I made my family’s Christmas cards a few years ago. So I saved myself some time by cutting the snowflakes from the blue section of the cards that didn’t get finished then. I added a couple of rhinestones to the snowflakes to give them a little extra sparkle. I used shimmery white cardstock for the card base because it reminds me of the sun sparkling on fresh white snow – although it’s hard to capture that in my photo of the card. I wanted to create the mood of falling snow, so I used a portrait-oriented card base. A set of alphabet stamps made it easy for me to make the sentiment with the words oriented vertically. And there you have it – a very CAS card!
