Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at CAS Christmas and Colleen has chosen plaid as the theme.
Our guest Melanie and my team mates have some great inspiration for you so I hope you can play along.
All of the details are on the blog.
I don't have any plaid stamps or designer paper but I do have a plaid stencil.
I diecut a tag thinking I'd use that then stencilled some sugar glitter paste through it.
It was sparkly but a bit bland, so I sprayed and smooshed on some Lindys starburst spray in a golden green colour.
That was a bit too much lol!
I tried it behind a few diecuts and thought this one with trees toned it down enough.
Here's a closer look at the sparkle.
The sentiment was embossed with a pearl jade powder.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Monday, glimmer and sparkle
Merry Little Christmas Challenge, anything goes
I've gone with S for stencil.
Supplies:
Tim Holtz plaid layering stencil; Bo Bunny glitter paste-sugar; Lindy's starburst spray in Ponderosa Pines Olive; Spellbinders circle die; Memory Box deco tree die; Hero Arts sentiment stamp; versafine clair nocturne ink & Stampendous Pearl lustre jade embossing powder.
Thanks for visiting,

Pretty trio of trees with the shimmery plaid backing them, Cathy!!
Your plaid trees are so cute. Lovely card, Cathy.
Love your plaid and sparkly trees surrounded by all that gorgeous white space. Fabulous CAS design Cathy!! xx
This certainly came together perfectly, Cathy! Such beautiful plaid Christmas trees!
Cathy, the outcome was definitely worth all your efforts. Fabulous cas card.
I love the design with the pretty cut out trees on the die cut circle, and the sparkly green plaid looks great behind each of the trees Cathy...a really pretty card. x
wonderful stenciling, I just love that glitter paste and the contemporary design of the the trees :)
All sparkly and love the plaid with the crisp white die cut. Such a contemporary and fabulous card Cathy x.
This came out so pretty and you can still see the sparkly. Plaid does make me think of Christmas (think pajamas for the whole family)!
Your plaid Christmas trees look fabulous through that stencil! what a great idea! And I love that you put it on a circle and then stamped the sentiment in green also!
Stunning plaid tree CAS Christmas card, Cathy! The shades of green and the sparkle are so pretty! Showing the plaid pattern through the tree die-cut is a wonderful idea. Love this card!

CAS perfection Cathy!! Your sparkly green plaid is SO pretty behind the die cut trees...LOVE it!! Hugs. Marcia :0)
Wow Cathy, you're stencilled trees look like jewels! Stunning card! I'm so happy you joined us in the stencil challenge at 52CCT:)
Really interesting trees - very nice Mxxx
What a lovely green sparkly plaid you created - it looks wonderful behind your pretty die cut trees - at first I thought the trees themselves were die cut and layered on the card! Sometimes it takes a bit of time to figure out how to use something on our designs - been there! xx Julia
Adorable trio of plaid trees! Love the sparkle. Backing the tree cutouts is a brilliant choice as it adds amazing dimension.
A great way to do the plaid challenge! Love the combination of the sugar glitter paste and the Lindy's spray. I don't think it's too much - it's beautiful, and looks great behind the trees die cut.
Such a lovely festive card and I love the creative way you created that beautiful background. Thanks for sharing with us at ABC Christmas Challenges.
