CAS Christmas Ring the Bell for June

Hi Everyone, it's time for CAS Christmas Card Challenge. The theme for this month is Bells, Linda is our host and LeAnne is our Guest Designer.

We hope you join the team in creating some Christmas cards for your stash, I can't wait to see what you create. Remember we are CAS Challenge so check the rules if you want to be considered for the winning card or  outstanding design.


For my card I kept it simple by stamping my background text in Versafine Clair and heat embossing with clear embossing powder then stamping my bells on watercolour paper and colouring with Fine Tec  Pearlescent watercolours (Ocean) and die cutting them. Once coloured I re stamped the image to sharpen the outline.



As my supplies were out I did a second card this time with Versafine Tulip.


I'd love to hear from you 😊

What a lovely verse stamp you used here Christine - a beautiful background for your pretty bells - different colors really give a different look to each card! xx

Your card is absolutely BEAUTIFUL Christine! LOVE the verse/sentiment you used and your bells are so pretty with the metallic water colors! Both cards are lovely but I think I like the 1st one best! :0)

Love your background stamp that is just perfect to so with your two bells. Looks great in both colours, but if I had to choose, I'd pick the 1st one :) xx

Love your stamped text with the stamped, colored and die cut bells, Christine. I loved both color versions of your CAS design. Always great to end up with twofers, since you already have your supplies handy:-) TFS my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy

Fabulous CAS design and a great way to incorporate the bells on both of your wonderufl cards x.

Christine, you have used the perfect sentiment to highlight your pearlescent bells. Very pretty card.

I just love the way you used that background text stamp to show case those bells. What a fantastic design! Love the pearlized paint on the bells and your photo shows it off perfectly. How great to get a second card while the supplies were still out. I really need to do that too.

Both are awesome CAS Christmas cards, Christine! The background text image is a perfect backdrop for the bells. The pearly shine of the bells is so pretty!
