AAA - Guest Designer ....

.... Good morning! I have the great pleasure of being Guest Designer over at AAA Cards today. The challenge is to make a CAS card featuring silver. I've made a much needed Christmas card for my stash. While CAS often means white space, it also means empty space and there's plenty of that here:

Stamps: Uniko - Originally Organic, Most Wonderful, Simply Said Christmas, Stunning Snowflakes
Inks: Versamark; Delicata - Shimmery Silver; Versafine - Onyx Black
Accessories: White Lustre Card; Stampin' Up Card - Basic Black; Silver Embossing Powder; Fintec - Silver Paint; Gems

As soon as I saw the challenge graphic I knew which stamps I would be using to make my card. I love Honesty seed heads, especially when they are covered with lots of frost and are sparkling in the winter sun! I used this lovely image from Originally Organic - a recent Uniko release. I stamped the image in Versamark and heat embossed it with silver powder. To add even more silver to the image I painted the seed heads and leaves with some shimmery silver paint. I finished the front of the card with a fun greeting and some gems for glitz! On the inside I cut the white panel slightly smaller than the card, stamped a simple greeting and added a few snowflakes.

I took a close up photo of the stamp showing the lovely shimmery silver paint!

I'd like to thank the AAA Cards Design Team for inviting me to join them as Guest Designer this week. It's been an honour and a pleasure. Do visit the AAA Cards blog to check out more inspiration from the Design Team.
