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 😊

CAS Christmas Card Challenge Mid Month Reminder

Hi everyone it's time for CAS Christmas card Challenge mid month reminder.

I've used this great stamp from Crafty Individuals which comes as one stamp but I thought would work cut in two for future use as separate stamps.

I stamped the holly in green and then went over the berries in red stickles.

I hope you pop over and play along with Loll and the team with our Berry Theme.

Well Christmas is just around the corner.

We're just a few weeks away from Christmas and here at CAS Christmas card challenge it's the last challenge of  2018.  We know everyone including the Design Team are busy at this time of the year the challenge will end on the 15th of December.

Trina is our host for this month's challenge  and our Guest Designer is Cindy (Escape to Stamping),  We can't wait to see all the sparkle and shine of those wonderful star cards.

For my card I die cut a postage stamp shape, masked the edges and used distress ink (stormy sky) to blend the central space. I used Distress oxide ink(old paper) on the background stamp (a Crafty individuals stamp) and then stamped a star from this JOFY set. I re-stamped the star used pencils and gamsol to colour and then fussy cut the image. 

I was looking for soft colours for the background so I used muted blues and greens.

Have a great Christmas everyone
