Hi Everyone, it's time for CAS Christmas Card Challenge and Trina our host has picked warm and cozy as our theme for this month.

My Warm and Cozy is this hat, scarf and mitten set from Serendipity stamps which are now sold by Impression Obsession.
I stamped the images using Versafine clair and heat embossed using clear embossing powder. I fussy cut the images and used a black felt tip pen to cover the white edge.
To give some dimension I stamped the scarf on the card and glued the scarf in position, then popped the hat and mits up on foam dots. To whiten up the pompom on the had to used a white POSCA acrylic paint pen.

Your card is warm and cozy and what a fabulous take on the challenge. The layering and colouring look wonderful and the grouping of the elements are perfect x. A striking CAS card x.
Brilliant card Christine - I have been looking for a really nice mittens stamp for a long time without success so you are lucky to have this one in your stash! Great colouring too! x
Not only is this set warm and cozy looking, but it looks like beautiful hand knitting! Love these colors!
Lovely warm card and the stamping is gorgeous.xx
I Love this image. Nothing warmer than wool mittens and I love making them from old wool sweaters lined with Polartec. This card has that warm, fuzzy feeling. Love your colors too.
This is such a wonderful image. It appeals to me so much - maybe because I'm a knitter and I love the Fair Isle technique in knitting. But also the gorgeous colours and great layout with the pieces overlapping each other.
Beautiful, Christine! It looks like you somehow shrunk a real knitted set and glued it to your card! Your coloring is dynamite and popping the image up adds so much dementia!! Hugs, Darnell
This is AWESOME! I loved seeing it IRL today ... so much dimension from your fussy-cut and layered winter accessories. And the colours are gorgeous. The perfect images for this challenge, Christine! xx
This is such a charming and cozy card! I love the contrast of the lovely blues against the white backdrop. Nicely done! We are so pleased that you joined us at Watercooler Wednesday.
A gorgeous card for this challenge. I love the colors and wish I had this set to go with my blue winter coat.
Beautiful watercoloring with your pencils, Christine! Love your color palette and your fussy cutting is flawless...I'm so impressed!
Love this Christine - the colouring and the die-cutting and the placement - all great. Thank you for joining us at The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge. :) lynda DT
Oh! I remember Serendipity stamps from a few years back. Forgot about them, but they had some pretty things. Stamp companies come and go. Your coloring on this is beautiful and your cutting is downright amazing!
Perfect take on the theme. Of course I love the monochromatic blue colour. Great design with the popped up hat and mittens.
Beautiful card...your colors are fantastic, I would definitely wear this warm winter gear! Heart Hugs, Colleen
I love the colors of your hat, scarf and mittens, Christine. They sure do look warm and cozy.
I love this Christine... That set looks like you just knitted it... Perfectly realistic!
Christine, your hat, scarf and mittens are so real looking. I can just see how warm and cozy they are.
Wow, our image looks so real! Love it!
