Cas Christmas Card Challenge - Winter Scene

Hi Everyone, it's my turn to host this months CAS Christmas card Challenge The team and I would love to see some winter scenes on your cards.

Please welcome to our Guest Designer Izzy (IzzyScrap).



For my winter scene I've used some Altenew wide (6.89" x 32.8') Washi tape (Watercolor Nebula) attached to card stock. I used an anti static powder then stamped the images with Versamark, then used detail white embossing powder and my heat gun. This was a great way to make quick cards to add to my stash. The Watercolor Nebula tape has a wonderful mix of reds, dark blues and greens to great these amazing backgrounds.







I hope you come on over the CAS Christmas and join in with our fun challenge 😊

Now I'm sorry I never purchased that washi! Especially for my husband who has found a new hobby photographing them!
Gorgeous cards, Christine! Love your midnight flight, but that tree with the reds and purples is spectacular!

Love the idea of the wide washi tape for quick backgrounds and how beautifully they turn out! As much as I love to fuss with a card sometimes there are too many to do. Fabulous cards using this product and once again after seeing your work I’ll be shoppling!
