Hello everyone! Long time since my last post, but I’m back today with the new challenge at CAS Christmas. This month we’re brightening up the gallery with clean and simple (CAS) Rainbow Christmas cards.
Here’s my super easy CAS card.
The watercolored rainbow background was created with Karin Brush Marker Pro using the wet-on-wet technique on a stitched watercolor panel from my stash. The area was wet first with clean water, then I picked up the colours that were scribbled on a white board and added them in. Splattered it with white gouache paint, then set aside to dry.
Next, Santa’s sleigh from Memory Box Cabin Snowglobe was die cut from Bristol paper several times and stacked for dimension. The sentiment from My Favorite Things (MFT) Itty Bitty Holiday Wishes was then heat embossed with silver embossing powder on a strip of Bristol paper. Assembled the card onto a white card base and added cross details with a white gel pen and clear shimmer to Santa to finish.
We have the wonderful Izzy (Izzy Scraps) as our guest this month. She and the designers have made some beautiful rainbow cards to inspire you and you can check them out HERE. The challenge ends on April 24th PST. Hope to see your rainbow creations in the gallery. Thank you for stopping by.

What a sweet, serenely pretty card. I love how it almost looks like Santa is flying through a sky that's twinkling majestically with the northern lights.
