Hi, Friends.....
Yes, I am back with yet another Christmas in July card made from things in my holiday stash box. I ran across several of these dry embossed and sanded panels. This particular piece is called Black Magic.....black on the outside and colored on the inside, so when you sand it the color magically appears. The reason these panels had stayed in my box for so long is because they are too long for my regular A2 card size so they had been shoved aside for a long, long time. My Christmas in July resolution of using neglected stash items meant that it was time to use these!
I found that it fit just fine on a 5"x7" card base....but there was quite a bit of room to spare. So I went to my long neglected adhesive gem swirls and cut one of them up to arrange behind the panel. The card was still pretty sparse, so I put a couple of adhesive gems in the corners.
One question.....is this still CAS????
As I mentioned in my post right below this one, people often comment on my usual clean and layered cards as being CAS even when I don't think they are. This one seems "CAS-er" than my usual, so I am going to enter it in the Let's Squash It! CAS Challenge and the supreme tyrant dictator twins who run that challenge can delete it if they see fit. Muwahahahaha!!! (Love you two gals so much!!)
Supplies used include:
Darice - Seasonal Border 3-pack
Zva Black Gem Swirls
Core'dinations Black Magic Cardstock
Patterned Paper from my Stash
Hope you enjoyed seeing this simple card. The colors are a little out of the ordinary for Christmas, but I like the deep rose and black together. Thank you for stopping by today. Merry Christmas in July!!
❤
Janis

ReplyDeleteIt looks CAS to me, and it's quite lovely too! I love this color scheme with all those beautiful gemstones!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this magic paper that's a color on the inside. I hope your card fits the CAS theme.
ReplyDeleteYour bling swirls in back of sentiment is very pretty... and you even have some of that swirl to use on another card. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble and Jingle Belles.
ReplyDeleteI really like the black blingy swirl! The simplicity of your card turned out very nice. Thanks for playing with us at Double Trouble! :)
ReplyDeleteLove that you are using things from your stash to make cards. This seems like a very good "find", Janis! Fun card. It sure is clean - but I am no CAS expert!! Thanks for playing along and entering your card in the {BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party!!
ReplyDeleteJanis, it might not be a pure CAS because of the gems, but it DEFINITELY is the type of blinged-up card we at Double Trouble were challenging you to create! Love the swirls. Thank your for sharing with us for our "Christmas in July" with bling challenge!!! -Donna
