CAS Christmas May Challenge - Stocking

Hello there.  It's going to be a fun and busy month for me.  I'm kicking it off by hosting this month's challenge at CAS Christmas.  I have chosen Stocking as the theme.  Helen of Helen's Craft Haven is our guest.


And here's my super easy CAS card.


The mouse image was stamped with Copic friendly black ink, coloured with Copics then die cut out with the matching die.  Clear shimmer was added to the stocking for some sparkle.  Merry Christmas frame was die cut three times from scraps of Bristol paper and stacked for dimension.  Took the centre circle piece and applied texture embossing paste through a brick stencil.


Assembled the pieces onto a stitched rectangle panel die cut from Bristol paper as well and popped the panel onto a white card base with fun foam to finish.  It really was that easy and with two other cuties in the set, I had to make a card set.


Ready to join in the fun?  If you need more inspirations, head on over to the challenge blog HERE  Looking forward to seeing what you create.  Thank you for visiting.

I love the theme you chose, Trina, and you have three darling cards here. Impossible to choose just one of those cute critters with their sweetest faces, so of course you had to make them all!
