CSAYL Challenge #41 - Recipe Challenge

We're Back!! Yep, the Christmas Stampin' All Year Long Blog (CSAYL) is back in business! And let me tell you I'm ready!! For those of you familiar with CSAYL - it's a blog dedicated to all things Christmas. Last year we posted every Monday...now we'll be on Friday's. Also, we'll have three weeks of card creations and one week of gift sets. I hope you'll decide to play along - go over to the CSAYL to see all the DT's creations as well as link your creation.

So for this week our challenge is a recipe one - you are supposed to use 2 layers, 3 buttons and glitter. I took it as that's ALL you should use. So this card doesn't have lots of layers like I'm used to or ribbon {insert gasp here}...however, I am pleased with myself for following the challenge and creating a cool card :o)

I decided to go a little vintage...I didn't even color {insert another gasp here} anything! I think it captures the holiday feeling and would be a great card to mass produce and send...thinking about using something other than buttons to cut down on the cost of mailing though. So where is the glitter you ask?

The score line under the dotted line has glitter on it as do the snowflakes around Santa. I just used my Stardust Clear Gelly pen so it's a subtle effect. Hard to really capture it but trust me IRL it's pretty :)

So there you have it my first creation for CSAYL for 2010. Whew it feels good to have a Christmas card done - only 100 more to go, LOL! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies used: Olive Cardstock, Scor-pal & Scor-Bug Embosser, Vintage Santa Stamp Set, Memento Brown Ink, Cosmetic Sponge, Stardust Clear Gelly pen, Buttons, Brown Scrapper's Floss.
