My new Christmas supplies from Pinkfresh Studio ... love the candy cane effect of the red rings behind the slim braided circles.
There is no stamping on this card which is very unusual for me. Wonderful to use the layered Festive Leaves Stencil and die, and the foiled sentiments are so chic.
Catching the foiled sentiments - I cut one sentiment into 3 to fit in the circles.

CAS cards don't need to be on white ... I just love how this Santa pops on the red background of All Starburst 3D embossing folder (a NBUS).

Elegant wedding card by keeping it to one tone with Platinum embossing. Just a touch of colour with Copic.
Trying to capture the embossing.

To get the mojo going, I was CASe-ing Elena Roussakis's card, but I changed up a few things :
Sometimes you need to mix up your stamp sets to get just the right card :
CASology Challenge is coming to an end. Melissa has given us 10 wonderful years of inspiration and fun. All good things come to an end, but wish her all the success in her future plans.
It was where I discovered my love of CAS designs and so I could not miss playing in the last challenge.
I masked the books to keep it a one layer card.

I'm still working my way through new supplies. This time I'm trying out the Ixora embossing folder from Altenew.
It's so unlike me but I picked a dark green cardstock as the starting point. Then I swished over it with White pigment ink and let it dry. Decided it needed another colour. Started with Spun Sugar Oxide ink, but it was too pale, so then added Picked Raspberry Oxide ink. I gave it a splatter of white acrylic paint, tied some cord and mounted it on cardstock distressed with pink (in fact I didn't even add any new ink to my blending brush - just used what was leftover).

Playing with the Altenew Hill Blossoms stencil & Fine Frame Diamond dies and the Spellbinder All the Stars stencil.
I've done it in 3 different colour combinations, and used different techniques with the dies ...
I started with my favourite colour - blue of course! The die was used as an embossing folder using the rubber mat, then I masked it and distressed around the edges to give some depth.
Third option I really wanted to use the Altenew Sugarplum and Nature's Wonder Ink sets. I used just one of the frame dies and inked it with the same ink so that it would match the flowers.

As the guest elf, here's a little reminder if you want to play in Jo's Christmas Kickstart Challenge. This month the theme is Poinsettias and Posies.
I made a whole group of cards with the SSS Holiday Sprigs Stamp, Stencil and die set.
You can see how the berries pop with the glossy accents.
More crisp and CAS with this one.
Added a light touch of green distress behind the frame for this one.
