Welcome to 2019 and a new start to a CAS Christmas Challenge. For January, Christine is our hostess looking for silver and blue on our Christmas cards.
You should have seen the mess and the pile I had trying to come up with something for this challenge. I stepped away for a little while and when I came back, it all came together and nothing like what I had originally planned! ha ha, isn't that always just the case?
But I really love this card and so glad that it fell in my lap!

See you in the gallery!

Love your brilliant blue ornament!! And the offset silver panel behind it makes it so festive and sparkly!
Beautiful ornament Col! Love the bright, vibrant shade of blue paired with the silver glitter paper backing. Wonderful design! xx
you certainly created a beautiful blue and silver card Colleen, it was worth all the mess:) walking away is the best approach.
I love the vibrant blue ornament and the offset silver and white card frame.
Beautiful blue ornament, Colleen! Love the graphic design-ish look. Off-setting the silver paper is a great idea, adding a fun movement! I often have the same kind of creative process you described too. :-)
Happy New Year!

Wow, this blue is beautiful and paired with the silver glitter it just pops. Great design for your card.
I’ve been there, Colleen! Walking away seems to help me too! 🤗 Your card is beautiful. The silver glitter behind the vibrant blue ornament is perfect. Happy new year! xx
Hi Colleen! Happy New Year friend : ) I see your new year is off to a wonderful creative and sparkly start!!!
I hope this year brings you all the best Jesus has to offer and that your knees are 100%!! : )
I definitely know how that is when it just doesn't come together and then finally does. Yahoo. Beautiful card my friend.
You've got to love it when the card just falls together, Col! Isn't it fun when that happens! Love the pretty blue ornament and the sparkly piece at an angle behind it!
Yes, that's always the way! Sometimes you have to just walk away to see it come together. Boy, did it ever! Such a beautiful card, Colleen! Happy New Year!
what a great triple bulb ornament in the beautiful blue Colleen! the sparkle of the offset silver panel behind it is the perfect touch! I've had that happen where I'm trying and trying to get a design and it just isn't working - and like you said - walk away and come back with fresh eyes - and then something magical happens! xx
I love the vibrant blue you used on this darling vintage bauble Colleen! The silver glitter paper sets it off in CAS perfection!
I know exactly what you mean about ideas in your head and how the card comes out completely different when it's done!! In this case it turned out perfectly Colleen...absolutely LOVE all that brilliant blue paired with the silver...perfection my friend!! :0)
I concur, Colleen, things sometimes never come out how you envision. This is beautiful! Love that blue bauble with the silver glitter panel peeking behind. xx
I do exactly the same thing Colleen, I start with an idea and gradually as I go along it morphs into something completely different..lol. This is very pretty though and I love the bright blue bauble mat backed with another mat in that silver glitter card and love that you have twisted it too, and the blue colour of the sentiment matches the bauble perfectly. x
