CAS Christmas Card April Challenge - holiday cheer

It's time for a reminder that we are already half way through the CAS Christmas Card Challenge - Ornament, hosted by Bonnie





Here's what I made today:



I tried untraditional colors for the baubles. I stamped with pigment ink and clear heat-embossed the images to give a shiny look to the baubles. The little patterns and the sentiment were heat-embossed with gold. I drew strings with my gold metallic pen. 
The front panel was directly adhered to the card base, so it's a mail-friendly card. 😊




Check out the challenge blog to see the gorgeous "Ornament" cards from the rest of our talented Design Team. The challenge closes on Tuesday, April 24th.
I hope to see you in the gallery!
