Welcome to our first CAS Christmas Challenge of 2021 Friends!!
Julia is our hostess and she is using the prompt: silhouettes for our first challenge of the New Year.
I used WPlus9: Iconic Christmas for my images.
I masked off the circle and sponged on some color with a light shining behind the tree.
I know it seems strange to start making Christmas cards when we just finished with 2020 Christmas, and some may have put away all the decorations, but trust me, you will LOVE having a whole bunch of cards all done by next December when you have to address and mail them out!
And even if your home decor is put away, I know your Christmas stamps are still close by, so join us and get more inspirations from the design team and our special guest: Pat

What a super silhouette Colleen and love the colours with the pretty green and a lovely yellow glow which shows off the tree and sweet little figure, and the red sentiment is the perfect finishing touch. I have really enjoyed being the GD this time. x
what beautiful glowing colors you used around your sweet Christmas image Colleen and the sentiment in red is an unexpected surprise (love the look of it!) xx
Such a beautiful card, Colleen! I love your off-the-edge stamping and how your background makes the silhouette images pop! xx
Love the choice of the tree and the child for your silhouettes! Great sponging to set them off. And I love the contrast of the red sentiment.
I think I need to check out that WPlus9 set as I've seen a few people use it now and am really loving all the images!! Love the blending behind your silhouetted figures and tree and can just imagine them singing "Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree"! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. 😊
Those Christmas stamps never get put away here, Col! Love this sweet silhouette with the warm glow behind the tree!
Wonderful scene Colleen, I love the glow behind the tree. I now have another stamp set on my wish list :)
This is so pretty Col! Love the sponged light in the background behind your tree silhouette. I love that you've added a bit of red with the sentiment. Awesome! xx
What a sweet silhouette card, Colleen! I love the off-the-edge design, and the beautiful soft sponging. The glowing light behind the girl and the tree is so effective in creating a scene and makes a great contrast to the black silhouette. Happy New Year! :-)

Such a sweet Christmas scene here Colleen! Your silhouettes set off perfectly against your inked blended background. So pretty! Happy New Year to you and your family!
Sweet silhouette images Colleen, gorgeous inking too, love the glow behind the little girl, it really makes the images pop, Cathy x
That sweet silhouette really tugs at my heart, Col! You have made a wonderful design with it for the challenge! Happy New Year, my friend! Hugs, Darnell
Sweet silhouette images. Beautiful sponging to depict light shining from behind the tree... so effective and draws in the eyes.
Col, love your little girl trimming the tree and the light shining behind her. Lovely card my friend.
What a sweet image this is, Colleen. The shining light that highlights the scene is beautiful. It is early to start our cards for next year but since I just finished I know what stamps I have. By next year I have forgotten and have no ideas.
