CAS Christmas Card Challenge Mid Month Reminder - Critters

Hi Everyone it's time for CAS Christmas Mid Month Reminder and also a reminder that it's our last challenge of the year and we would love to see you join in.

For my card I pencil coloured the cute little dog from MFT Pawlidays, and Glimmer foiled the Memory box Snowflake frame die and a JOY die from Tim Hotz/Sizzix.

After seeing Hidiko and Bonnie's beautiful foil backgrounds I invested in a Glimmer foil system myself (an early Christmas present to me 😍), I still have a lot to learn about keeping the dies straight but I must admit I love the idea of another use for my dies.

More Rubber band exploits

This technique can be quite addictive, for this card I put multiple size bands on a stamp block and versamarked the bands.  I heat embossed clear versamark and sponged distress inks into the mixed media paper.  I love the big splashes of versamark from the larger rubber bands.  I framed the background using a MFT rectangular frame die and inlaid the frame back into the white card.  I die cut the flowers from one of the Tim Holtz wild flower collection and tucked it into the frame.

I'm entering this for the following challenges

CAS Mix up Rubber band, stamping, stamping and my choice is die cut.
