CAS Christmas May Challenge - joy

Hi everyone,

It's time for a reminder card for Christine's Foliage and Berries challenge for CAS Christmas.  

I received die-cuts of a wreath and a sentiment from a sweet friend, and they were perfect for this month's challenge!

Here's my card:

[How I made the card]

1. Watercolored the wreath and the sentiment, Joy.

2. Die-cut a circle 4 times, stacked up the pieces, and glued the wreath and the sentiment onto the stacked circles for dimension.

3. Hot foiled the frame on a white front panel.

4. Embossed a brick pattern on a piece of white card stock and glued it inside the foiled frame.

5. Attached the wreath to the embossed panel.

6. Glued the whole front panel to the card base.

7. Brushed Wink of Stella over the wreath and the sentiment to add a little sparkle to them.

You have until May 24th. Looking forward to seeing your card in the gallery!

CAS Christmas May Challenge - merry

Hi everyone,

Welcome to our new challenge at CAS Christmas!

Our talented Designer, Christine (It's a Card Day's Night), is hosting the challenge this month, and she chose Foliage and Berries as the theme. 

We are excited to have Robyn (Waterlily Cards by Robyn) as Guest Designer. Welcome, Robyn!

Here's my card:

[How I made the card]

1. Die-cut the front panel and the foliage & berries from white cardstock, and the sentiment (merry) from gold foil paper.

2. Made a background with Alcohol Ink and attached the piece to the back of the window.

3. Glued the die-cut foliage & berries and the sentiment to the window.

4. Adhered the whole front panel to the card base.

I was not able to catch the shimmer from the Alcohol Pearl Ink in the photo, so I need your help in imagining it. 😉
