April CAS Christmas Card Challenge


Hi there, blog friends! It’s time for the April challenge at CAS Christmas. Our Hostess is Trina and she has chosen ‘Rainbow’ for our prompt. Our Guest Designer is the amazing Izzy!


I started by watercoloring my new TH Woodlands Trees blending red into orange, yellow into green, and blue into violet with a spritz of sheer shimmer spray. Next, I used embossing paste on a falling snow stencil, added snowdrifts, and a sentiment, and this card was complete!

We hope you’ll stop by the Challenge Blog and check out all the beautiful Christmas cards by our DT and Guest Designer...The challenge ends on the 24th, so you have plenty of time to play along with us...It’s a great way to add some beautiful cards to your Christmas card stash! I hope to see you there ~ 


Thanks so much for stopping by,






Supplies:
Stamps: Ellen Hutson - Christmas Scribbles (sentiment)
Dies: Tim Holtz - Woodlands Trees; MFT - Stitched Snow Drifts
Stencils: Sugar Pea Designs - Falling Snow
Misc: Altenew - White Embossing Paste, Watercolor Brush Markers; Sheer Shimmer Spritz

Beautiful rainbow tree card, Barb! Love the soft tone of the rainbow colors! The falling snow texture and the shimmer from the trees add so much interest without distracting the rainbow colors!
