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. 😉

Check out the challenge site for more inspirations. You have until May 24th to link up your card here. Looking forward to seeing your card in the gallery!
