CAS Christmas Card Challenge June 2022


I'm pleased as Christmas punch that the gals at CAS Christmas are BAAAAcK!!!!  I just happen to have a wreath or three in my stash.  This one, from Lil' Inkers never gets old - even though the company doesn't exist any longer.  


The image was stamped in a new SU ink, and water-colored in another from my sweet friend!  It was hard not to use the coordinating papers!  The center circle was die cut with an old MFT stitched circle and settled right back where it came from, while I lifted the wreath itself with foam tape.
A clean bright white panel of white was embossed with a Sunny Studio woodgrain embossing folder and covered my side-fold card base.

That's a wrap - have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks, CAS Christmas team!

    A beautiful card Michele, I love that wreath! Such a pretty color and I love the coloring on this one. Simple, but oh so elegant looking. The embossing is perfect for the background, woody and very nature looking to go with the wreath! Hugs, Brenda

    That's some amazing embossing on the card base, and I love the wreath. It's good to see the old retired stuff come out to play. I had just discovered Lil' Inker and made a few purchases and next thing you know they're gone, sniff sniff.

    Your saying "a wreath or three in my stash" made me chuckle, Michele!
