CAS Christmas August 2022 Reminder - Merriest Christmas

Hi everyone,

It's time for a reminder for CAS Christmas Challenge!

The theme for August is:




And here's my card:



[How I made the card]

1. Die-cut the pinecones, berries and greenery from watercolor paper.

2. Painted the die-cuts with watercolor paints, and layered some parts.

3. Brushed the watercolored parts with Wink of Stella.

4. Glimmer foiled the sentiment and die-cut it. 

5. Die-cut the sentiment shadow twice and glued the pieces to the back of the sentiment for dimension.

6. Lightly spattered Perfect Pearls on the card base.

7. Die-cut the frame and glued it to the card base.

8. Adhered the pinecones, berries, greenery, and the sentiment to the card base.


Sparkles from Wink of Stella, Perfect Pearls, and hot foil are prettier in real life.✨✨✨
