Today I'm here with my reminder card for the October CAS Christmas Card Challenge which is to use red and grey.
I used glitter paper in red and silver (that's grey right?!) for the die cuts on my design, with grey stenciled snowflakes in the sky.
I die cut the oval using a Petite Oval Nestability out of silver glitter paper for my frozen lake, then l adhered it to my card base and stenciled lightly above the oval using Tim's mini snowflake stencil from Stampers Anonymous using a blender brush and Limestone Ink from Altenew.
I die cut the skater out of both red and silver glitter card stock. I cut the hands and hat off the silver die cut (accept for the pom pom which I left red!) and glued the pieces over the red skater. I popped the skater over the ice with foam dots. The sentiment and sentiment strip die are from Taylored Expressions.

This is AWESOME! SO cute, I love it! BTW, am I right in thinking you are a fan of To Kill A Mockingbird by the names of your cute kitties? So sorry you no longer have them around!
Wow, Julia, this is so fun and unique. That skater is really showing off and so glad you used all glitter, makes him shine!!
This is so sweet, Julia! Love that you've used glitter paper to make your card full of sparkle! xx

Fabulous use of the red and silver glitter paper - a great card for the red and grey challenge.
This is so pretty and sparkly, Julia! I love that you put the oval lake as a backdrop, which makes the red skater pop! The soft and subtle snowflake stenciling is a wonderful texture contrast to the glittery die-cuts too.

Your little ice skater is so cute, Julia! I love how you played with the gray and red color palette, especially that you chose sparkly paper and stenciled snowflakes! Such a happy Christmas card ~ xx

I LOVE the feeling of movement on this card, Julia! I can't decide if the skater is doing tricks or about to fall over! Love, love, love all that sparkle and fun!
