The swatch was quite big so I cut it down and added a black border to create more of CAS image. I used another stencil to to the background for a hint of colour.

Sweet! Always great when you have such a beautiful panel in your UFO box, Christine! Love the bright watercolours over top of the paste. The stenciled background adds lots of dimension. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Christmas! xx
What a lovely offering from your UFO box, Christine, and so perfect for the holly challenge! I love how you've framed the design with a bit of black and skewed it over that gorgeous sentiment!
So contemporary and such an eye catching layout. Love the use of mixed medias x
Great mixed media CAS card, and the bright holly looks pretty as you've used the swatch. What a brilliant idea. I've used a stencil to do some holly before, and it just didn't look very good. If I'd tried this, may have salvaged something. I like the way you've placed the element on the front of the card with the dark matting. TFS
Love the bit of stenciling on the card base! Great background for the focal image - it really works being cut down to such a small piece - makes for a great CAS card.
I love your holly swatch and how you cut it down and added a stenciled background. I have that holly stencil...you are giving me ideas..as always, my friend. Hugs...
Smart & original! So glad you shared with us at The Holly & The Ivy. Good luck hun, Jackie DT xx
This is such a unique and wonderful design. Love the use of the texture paste on this. I also love the skewed panel on the front. The black mat adds such a great contrast to your card.
Super find in your UFO box. Fantastic idea to cut it down to create a CAS card. The black border is a great contrast. xx
I love how you used only a part of the stencil pattern. I love how you used colors, all those streaks and gradation of color ... Well for a great project, Christine !!
