CAS Christmas March 2020 - Winter Flower

Hello friends.  Playing along with this month's challenge over at CAS Christmas where my sweet friend Colleen is hosting, and she would like to see Winter Flowers on our Christmas cards.


I have oodles of Poinsettia stamps, but thought I would go in a different direction, and maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm going to call these Beautiful Berries: Winter a Winter Flower...


I hadn't used this lovely set from Papertrey Ink in quite awhile and inked up the greenery in Ocean Tides and Pine Feather inks and the berries in Autumn Rose and Scarlett Jewel inks.  The sentiment is part of the Beautiful Berries: Winter stamp set and I inked that up in the Pine Feather ink.


I used a Spellbinders Hemstitched die to add a little interest and frame around the berry branch, and then layered a piece of Pine Feather cs behind the hemstitched panel before adhering to a white card base, and then finished with a few clear sequins.  Quick and easy and very CAS!

You can check out what the DT has to show for inspiration and then play along right HERE.  This challenge is open till the 24th.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

  13. Maybe not actually a flower but it is a winter plant, Marcia, and is so pretty stamped in those colors. I have the Spring and Autumn berries. Maybe we can make a trade when we craft together next time. Unless you have those too. ;)
