CAS Christmas - April 2021 - Rainbow


Trina, you almost stumped me with this CAS Rainbow Christmas theme - then I remembered a particular stencil from Altenew! and found a lovely little rainbow of inks:



A sweet little sentiment, and Bob's your Uncle!   Who says pinecones have to be brown?  [edited to add - don't say I didn't warn you, Bobby! xx]

  4. Great rainbow card, Michele! I'm still thinking about this challenge - I don't do much with rainbow colors and then you add in Christmas. We'll see if I enter this month or not.
