CAS Christmas Mid Month Reminder

Hi Everyone, it's time for CAS Christmas mid month reminder, I hope your are adding some cards to your stash with a little inspiration from the team.



For my card I used some Sweet Poppy stencils. the first is the Poinsettia wreath which I just used the poinsettia part and then the Postcard frame. After stenciling the poinsettia image I went over it later with some watercolour to add some depth of colour.
