CAS Christmas Mid Month Reminder

Hi Everyone Colleen our host at CAS Christmas card Challenge is calling for some winter flowers in the challenge.



To add to the fun of the challenge it's CAS Christmas' 2nd birthday and there are some prizes to be won.

Prizes:
Winner - $25 GC to Simon Says Stamp
Random Draw from eligible entries - $25 GC to Simon Says Stamp



Here is my card for the challenge, I used the Berry and Blossom poinsettia and sentiment stamps from Magenta. I like to have some non traditional Christmas sentiments for some of my friends and this is one of my favourites.
I stamped the images on kraft mixed media card stock using Versafine Clair nocturn and clear embossing powder then coloured the petals and berries with Fine Tec metallic watercolour paints.
I will be making a few more of these for Christmas as they were quick cards to make.








Card Recipe
Stamps: Magenta
Paper: 110lb white, Mixed Media Kraft, Black
Ink: Versafine Clair Nocturn
Accessories: Fine Tec metallic watercolours, clear embossing powder
Techniques: Watercolouring
