Hi Everyone it's time for CAS Christmas May Challenge. This month I'm the host and would love to see you play along with some berries on your foliage.
I'm so happy to see Robyn (Waterlily cards ) as our Guest Desiger this month and don't forget to check out all the amazing cards from the Design team.
Remember this is a CAS card Challenge
For my card I used one of the Lavinia berry sprigs shaped it with one of Hermine Koster's circles and simply stamped the sentiment in the centre. The berries have pearl pen to give them dimension and a few sequins to hide a couple of berry splats. Don't you hate it when the pearl pen burps and makes a big splat on your card 😝 in red of all colours.

WOW! Such a beautiful and classic CAS card! I love sequins, they are a beautiful decoration and I would never have guessed that they are hiding something :-)
My Wing of Stella has some gastric problems and it often gives me such awful shiny spots not where they should be. I thought it was my fault, but maybe it is so with adding shine that it rains wherever it wants :-)

I was just humming that Beatle's tune again, Christine - your blog name still makes me smile first, then smack myself in the forehead for not thinking of it first!
LOve your challenge, and your beautiful berries!

Berries do have a tendency to splat and red always make impossible splats! That's what sequins are for, my friend! Love this berry sprig and how you've fit it on the circle!
So pretty Christine. Thanks for the fun challenge. Yah for sequins to hide splats. Your spring is lovely and unique.
What a lovely berry vine on your circle Christine - (I think I just bought that Lavinia stamp and will have to print your design for inspiration!) Your red berries are lovely and great save covering some splats with the lovely white sequins! A great challenge for us this month! xx
This is so elegant and beautiful, Christine! The sprig with shiny berries is just lovely and you shaped the sprig so well (an interesting technique)!
I thought you planned to place the sequins until I read the post. They add texture and shine to the wreath and look so natural.
Thank you for hosting this great challenge!

Oh it's gorgeous and those sequins were definitely meant to be!
What a delicate and pretty card and perfectly CAS x. Fun save with the pretty sequins x.
CAS and absolutely BEAUTIFUL Christine! And I love the addition of your sequins...they look perfect with the red berries!! Thank you for such a fun challenge this month...I love doing anything with Christmas foliage and berries!! :0)
Such a pretty design with the berries and branch following the curve of your circle. Red is the worst at trying to "fix" when there are stray bits. The sequins are perfectly placed Christine, and they add some more sparkle - bonus! Am loving this challenge, my friend! xx
Gorgeous, I love that sprig of berries and what a good idea to pair it with the circle, it works so well. Brilliant camouflage of your unwanted pen burps too xx
This is so beautiful. I love the berries around the frame. I watched the video you recommended. I got the circle masks, and stamps to use with the. Now I just need to get it done.
Beautiful holly and berries Christmas card, Christine. I will be playing in a few days...I have a card design...in my head:-) We head home today. We had an awesome trailer camping trip for 3 1/2 weeks:-) TFS and hosting your wonderful challenge. Love and Hugs...Nancy
Beautifully done and thanks for the link to the video! I love the simplicity of this and how effective it is as a CAS card. Your red accents and sequins are the perfect final touch on this one.
Beautiful berries and circle. Love the pearl pen to give colour and texture. This card is CAS perfection!
Stunning! Love how you did this, Christine! The sequins add to it so thankful for the splats!!!! Beautiful work. Hugz
Such a pretty wreath, Christine! I love your CAS design and how you added dimension with your pearl pen :) I think this classic design would work well to mass produce ~ Thanks so much for the great prompt! Barb xx
thank you for this challenge with foliage and berries, you picked a good one and lots of awesome inspiration from you and the others! I love your circle with the berries, and oh yes I do know about red boo boo's!!
Such a pretty delicate vine with berries Christine, the sequins look perfect, even if the aren't hiding red burps! Love the design and this fun challenge, Cathy x
Beautiful sprig and berries image shaped in a Hermine Koster’s circle design. Ugh! Those annoying splats!... great idea to use the sequins to cover them up (although I would have never noticed 😉).
This is gorgeous in its utter simplicity and I absolutely love it. Those sequins sure do come in handy.
A great challenge Christine, and a lovely foliage card, Robyn
