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.

Playing at total of 6 challenges including
Allsorts Challenge - CAS Christmas
Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge - A/Goes with option twist of CAS
Less Is More - Metallics

Thank you so much for visiting my blog. Have a great weekend!

Less Is More wanted to see dimension and the theme at Fusion Card Challenge is Autumn Porch. 

Also playing along at STAMPlorations Mixed Media - Anything Goes and Watercooler Wednesday - Anything Goes.

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.

Thanks for stopping by.
