CAS Christmas Card

Another quick CAS Christmas Card today to join in with a few Challenge.

I started by using a Gummiapan 'Integrated Rectangles' die in the white card front and backing the aperture it left with a piece of a double sided adhesive sheet , leaving the aperture sticky.  The die was used again with silver mirror card and the silver frame was put in place inside the aperture.  I used the die again with two snippets of Christmas patterned paper and inlaid the pieces into the frame.  A silver peeloff sentiment finished off my card. 

I am joining in the following challenge:
As promised in a previous post, here are a few photos of  my surprise birthday trip to Iceland this month.
Reykjavik Cathedral

View from the top of the cathedral.







Sunrise on my birthday.

 .....and to finish, a sign which should be next door to every craft store!

    Looks like it was a really lovely trip Liz and all the more special for being a surprise, and wonderful photos. That is a really interesting die and love the papers you have used and would be a good one for a batch make. x

    What an unusual card - love the look of that die which has to be a great way of using up the 'scrap paper mountain'. Thanks for sharing the lovely photos - love the final one!

    Great photos Liz, Iceland looks like a beautiful place. The cathedral is amazing and that gorge is something else! Wow! It's amazing how much power is in flowing water.
    Your Christmas card is fabulous, I love the geometric look. The silver framing really sets off the wonderful paper.
    Cheers,
