Hi Everyone can you believe it's already November and this is our last CAS Christmas challenge for the year, OMG what happened 😅. To add insult to injury I spoke to my local post office this week and they told me to get my Christmas cards in the mail really early this year as is going to take a lot longer to travel out of county. The traditional mailing dates aren't going to apply.
My non traditional colours are orange and yellow on a poinsettia stencil and the sentiment stamped and coloured with pencils in the same colours. I used Wink of Stella at the centre of the flowers, you'll have to take my word as you can't see any of that wonderful sparkle in the picture.
A QCAS card which I might make more in a other colours.
I'm entering this for the following Challenges

This turned out very pretty, Christine, and I love the colors. It's very warm and it looks quite Christmasy to me. Too bad that the mail service has suffered during this long, long year... and no end in sight.
Definitely non-traditional Christine but oh do I love, LOVE it! The orange and yellow are so pretty for the Poinsettia's and I'm sure that sparkle in the centers is fabulous! Lovely, lovely card!! :0)

This is stunning, Christine! I love the warm color combo and the wonderful design! The stenciled poinsettias are so pretty (especially with the sparkling center of the flowers!) and the color penciled sentiment is unique and special!
