Since the launch of the 2018 Card Design Superstar challenge, I've been away from my craft desk a good bit, but I did have time to make a Clean & Simple Genius category entry. The MFT contest post with all the rules can be seen
here.
CAS cards truly are a challenge for me. I always want to add one more thing. I love the look of them when other people make them, but for some reason I often think mine look incomplete. Having said that, I feel good about the CAS card I made for this challenge, and it's another card ready to donate to Send A Smile 4 Kids too.
The largest die from the Pierced Star STAX set was used to cut three stars, one white and two Elf Green. The stars were glued and stacked with the white one on top, and then adhered to a piece of white card stock that was die cut with the largest A2 Rectangle STAX die. Another piece of Elf Green card stock was cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches and was adhered to the back of the slightly smaller white panel.
The cute little jumping Santa from the Jingle All the Way set was stamped and colored with Copic markers. Clear Wink of Stella was added to the fur trim on Santa's hat, then Santa was die cut and adhered to the star. The sentiment was stamped and clear heat embossed. The small metallic silver embellishment stars were cut with the star die from the Circle Shaker Window and Frame set.
Thanks very much for stopping by to take a closer look at my card. And good luck to all of the other card makers that participated this year. There are so many inspiring and beautiful entries!
