CTC205 - CASEing a Birthday card with a Christmas twist

Welcome back for another week. We are taking a Birthday card and CASEing it with A Christmas Twist. (copy and selectively edit)
Would you believe I am still drawn to Watercolour Cards?? I know hard to believe right?
I have CASEd a card I've done before from page 23.
I just love the little bird from Feathers and Frost, and the sentiment is from
Wishing you Well. The sprig punch just makes it all so easy.


You may recognise this card. Although I didn't do any stamping on the base layer, I have run the watercolour card through the Subtle embossing folder after I attached it to the green mat. It just stabilises the watercolourpanel, makes it flatter and makes it look like a piece of art!!

To be perfectly honest I have quite a lot of Emerald Envy (retired) green cardstock so I used that for the mats and there is a mix of Garden Green, Soft Suede an Emerald Envy in the watercolour panels. The little bird is coloured with blends which is super fast and easy.


A little bit of Tranquil Tide glimmer for a few sprigs adds just enough sparkle to qualify for a Christmas Card!

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car
