This month's STAMPlorations CAS Challenge is:
And here's what I made using Green:
This is actually a negative side of the stencil, Fairy Tale Forest. I was originally using the positive side, but I couldn't waste so much leftover ink on the negative side. So I made this using the leftover ink. 😉
[How I made the card]
1. Stenciled using white pigment ink liberally. (This positive side will be used for another card.)
2. After stenciling, flipped it over, placed it on a piece of green cardstock and ran it through Big Shot.
3. Layered a dark red trim under the green panel.
4. Gold heat-embossed the sentiment on a wide strip of vellum, glued the linen thread at the edges, and wrapped it around the front panel.
5. Added a few red Nuvo drops.
6. Adhered the front panel to the card base.
The challenge is open until December 31.
Thanks so much for dropping by!
Happy Holidays!

This month's CAS Watercolour Challenge is hosted by the very talented Designer, Bonnie. Her challenge is "Thank You". Isn't it the perfect theme for the end of the year?
While making this card, I was thinking about all the love, kindness, support and encouragement I received from my friends and family this year. I'm especially thankful for getting to know the many card-makers/stampers in the online community and developing friendships with them. I sometimes can't believe I've never met these friends in person.
So, this is a thank-you card for YOU.
One of the Distress Inks I used for the background to create a cold wintry feeling was Weathered Wood (blue/green gray), and I liked how it turned out.
[How I made the card]
1. Made a stencil monoprint background using Distress Inks and die cut the piece with a stitched frame die.
2. Stamped the rose and the leaves using Misti.
* There are 6 layers for the rose. It works better for me to use 3 shades of pink inks and double stamp to make a one-notch darker shade than to use 6 different shades of pink/purple.
3. Die cut the sentiment and sponged it with Weathered Wood.
4. Glued the rose, the leaves, and the sentiment to the front panel and adhered the panel to the card base.
The challenge is open until December 15, so we have a few more days.

This month's CAS Christmas Card Challenge is hosted by the talented Trina, and she chose Stars as a theme.
Here's my card:
I die-cut a star (window) from the front panel, pasted a piece of leftover Alcohol Ink background on the card base, and popped up the front panel with foam tape. The sentiment was die cut 3 times. I layered them together and glued both ends to the front panel.
Just to remind you that the challenge is open until December 15th.
Thanks for visiting me today!
