Hi all ~ Even though my mojo is really low right now, I love a good challenge and wanted to play along in a few of my favorites :)
First up is the November CAS Watercolor Challenge for the theme 'Holiday':
My card...
I can't get enough of this holly leaf die, so I started by using distress inks to color the leaves and added splatters with white ink. I embossed the sentiment and mounted everything on a white woodgrain panel and added a few Nuvo Drops for a pop of color...done and dusted!

My 2nd card is for this week's challenge at Muse. Here is the beautiful card Anita created to inspire us:
My take on Anita's card:
This is my new favorite Christmas themed embossing folder, gifted to me by my lovely friend, Michele...it's hard to see the depth of the impression on screen, but in person, it is AMAZING!
So, I embossed the panel and watercolored the holly dies, then fiddled with the sentiment to shape it to fit the banner. A few red gems, and this card was completed.
I focused on Anita's:
- Embossed panel
- CAS Layout
Supplies

two wonderful cards, Barb - elegant and classy with just the red, green and white colors and the holly leaves
Love how clean and crisp both of these are, Barb. I especially like the embossing on the second card and the sweet, wavy banner.
Two fabulous cards, Barb! I really love your Muse card, the embossing folder from Michele is fabulous and I love the holly die (I need to check that out at Tonic Studio). A really pretty holiday card!
Beautiful cards :)
Love those big bold leaves and the CAS designs of both of your cards Barb!
These both work for the challenge, Barb, and are gorgeous! Love that big holly and the smaller one too! Thanks so much for joining us at Muse this week!
Two beautiful holly cards, Barb! Love the open holly and how you've watercolored and splattered it! The leaves are so pretty on the woodgrain background and I love the pops of red! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!
Your holly leaves are fantastic especially against that woodgrain paper. YOu got my vote on your muse card, its wonderful.
These CAS designs are gorgeous!!
I have that tonic holly die and love it, you've inspired me to get creative with it again. I love that embossed background and the curved banner adds great movement. Thanks so much for playing along at Muse, Anita x
Two beautiful festive holiday cards! I love the first one with the Distress inked holly! I can see why you love that die!The second one is so pretty with the sentiment and banner die! Beautiful work! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving such nice comments!! ((Hugs))
Crushing over your lovely holly cards, Barb; my CAS-loving heart is mega-watt smiling! The pine needles embossing folder really is pretty, isn't it! I managed to find one 'locally', so snapped it up! Only one use so far, but I have plans percolating...slow percolating *grin* Looks like you mojo is returning! Send mine my way, please!
Hugs and love,

Beautiful holly and perfect sitting atop that woodgrain! Your CASE of Anita's card is superb too!
