Basket of Holly
I'm here with a second post in one day and I don't usually do that. I don't know if I'll make another card this week or not. I'll just have to wait and see what is going on in my life by Friday.
I recently bought this basket of holly stamp and I like it even better than I thought. It was easy to color and I just love it for a CAS card.
I entered this card into the challenge at Splitcoaststampers, CC453 which is a color challenge. The colors we were to use were SU Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, and Baked Brown Sugar. I subbed BBS for Crumb Cake. That is allowed if you don't have the specific colors.
The strips of paper are my cardstock so I could use the colors required but stay CAS
I colored with Copics:
R39, R37, R35.......YG61,YG63..........E70, E71
Stamps-Stampendous Cling Holly Basket, Stampabilities Handwritten Merry Christmas
My card is also entered into the challenge at Oozak---#26-- Holidays and Anything Goes
I would also like to enter my card into the challenge at CAS on Sunday-challenge #21-One Layer Wonder

Brenda I love the image, so beautiful and Christmasy looking!! YOu always make the cas look so elegant :)
Your image is perfectly designed for a CAS car like this, Brenda. Love your shading so the bottom holly leaves are darker than the upper leaves - so pretty! I envy how straight your 3 lines under the sentiment are. Wonderful card! Thank you for sharing your recipe, too! hugs, de
Oh, das ist eine wunderschöne Karte, Brenda. Das Motiv gefällt mir sehr gut und der Stempelspruch passt perfekt dazu, er hat ein tolles Design. Die drei Steifen runden die Karte schön ab.
Liebe Grüße, Anja
