I used a new stamp that I really like - perfect for the challenge.
I stamped the image, watercolored it, trimmed it and bordered it with a matching green cs, and popped it up on a copper card base. Truly a CAS card as the image includes the sentiment so it was very quick and easy to make.
Head on over to the CAS Christmas blog and check out the rest of the samples by the Design Team and August's Guest Designer, Meg (Bits and Pieces). There are also some parameters for the theme, including options for those who don't have a stamp or die that seems totally suitable to The Twelve Days of Christmas.
Hoping to see your entries!
