Love Joy Peace

I made some ATC's using Visible Image stamps and stencils which I will link up to the Visible Image Group on Facebook for their November challenge "Make It Sparkle" (the sparkle not showing up that well on the photo).

Holly

Another card using the lovely CAS Colours and Sketches colours. My die-cut holly was water-coloured with Zig pens and Glossy Accents over the top, on a background of die-cut sentiments block (which is from a set of Sizzix thinlits called "Christmas Phrase Cards" #659973).

Joyeux Noel

My card today is inspired by the photo inspiration at The Card Concept (CAS style).

I don't use many coloured card backgrounds, but I thought this Nativity scene in gold metallic foil card would look much better on black, so here it is. You know, shiny things are so difficult to photograph.

Dimensional paste background, die-cut leaf coloured with Brushos, a little white leaf die-cut to keep it CAS and a tiny sprinkle of Brushos in the same colours as the leaf.
