It's day eleven of The 12 Days of a Clean and Simply Christmas--Stamp Simply Style!
My card today features Bo Bunny's "Father Christmas" 6 X 6" pad, Spellbinders Label 20 dies, Wordsworth "Holiday Stylized" wreath stamp, Kaisercraft red rhinestones, and May Art's red gingham ribbon.
Points of interest:
1. Grab your nested dies for a CAS design...it automatically looks like "more" when it really is "less"!
2. When you make a monochromatic print design, line up the layers to match, then add dimensional tape between the layers. This makes for a clean and concise look.
3. Use a light colored Prismacolor pencil or sponge ink onto the edges of the dark paper layers for additional interest.
And...a pretty bow always makes for a delightful finish!
All supplies used for today's CAS design are available at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.
