Rudolph Days

The Rudolph Days Challenge started a couple of days ago and runs until the end of the month.  I've made a CAS card, which I think would be good for batch making.

I used an MFT 'Christmas Tree Window' die in a piece of white card slightly smaller than the red card blank.  The aperture in the tree was backed with a snippet of green alcohol inked card which was in my box of backgrounds I made some time ago.  I used the die again in a snippet of gold card and inlaid the star.  The sentiment was a stamp from the SU 'Greatest Part of Christmas' set, stamped with a Delicata red, metallic inkpad.

 I am joining in the following challenges:


While I had the stamp out, I used it again on this card.  The image is a recycled shop bought Christmas card, that was too nice to throw away, layered on a piece of red cardstock.   So, a really quick and easy card to add to my pile Christmas cards.
