CAS Christmas Mid Month Reminder

Hi Everyone it's time for CAS Christmas Mid Month Reminder.

Marcia is asking us to think of the Nativity when we create our card, please join the team and add to your Christmas Card stash. Don't forget to check the CAS rules to be considered for winner or one of the Top 3 cards.


Here is my card, I'm using the Flourishes (unfortunately no longer in business) Three Wise Men stamp.


I stamped the image of the Three Wise Men on coated card stock with Stazon ink, I sprinkled blue brusho's spritzed with water and allowed it to run away from the image, and did the same on the bottom with a caramel colour. By allowing it to run to the edge away from the centre I managed to keep colour contamination to a minimum. I coloured the wise men with Posca Acrylic Paint pens, and the horses with Stamping up watercolour pen.
The image reminds me of a windy desert scene with heat causing distortion waves in the the air.

I also just received my thin frame die from Simon Says Stamp, I know they have been around for a while but finally bit the bullet and bought them and now I love them.

Gelli plate crusty bits meets stencil outlining


Hi Everyone, I have another print pulling the dry crusty bits off my gelli plate. the colours are very soft so I decided to do some soft stencilling using Funky Fossil shell stencil. I blended to speckled egg distress oxide inks and some worn lipstick distress ink. I outlined the stencil in white ink.


The stencil is one I've had in my stash for a long time but never used so I'm entering it into Darnell's NUBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff)

CAS Christmas Card Challenge

Hi Everyone it's time for CAS Christmas Card Challenge and this month Marcia want's us to create a card with the Nativity as our theme. I hope you join Jane our Guest Designer and the CAS Christmas Design Team and play along.


For my card I've used an old stamp set from Flourishes (I think the company has now gone out of business) and a Sizzix snow globe die cut.
I stamped the image with Versafine Claire Nocturn and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I blended distress oxide inks for the sky and the sand then used pencils to colour the buildings.
The base of the globe was die cut from kraft card stock and then embossed with a wood grain embossing folder, the ridges were swiped with brown ink.

Paper: 110lb white, Kraft
Ink: Versafine Claire Nocturn, Distress Oxide, Distress inks
