It's almost the weekend ..... yeah!
March saw the launch of a new Blog Challenge, especially for Christmas Cards. And, as the brains behind it are two of my lovely blog buddies ...... the talented Loll Thompson and Bonnie Klass, what else could it be for but ......... CAS Christmas Cards, one of my favourite styles.
The challenge started on the 3rd of the month and runs through to the 24th ...... so I'm a little late joining the party but ..... I made it!
As you can see the theme is Holly ....... surprisingly I don't have a lot of Holly stamps in my collection, not ones I wanted to use anyway!! In the end I decided on this little guy ..... he's got holly
He's a little Penny Black hedgie from one of their T for Transparent sets and he's been stamped in the centre of a square card and coloured using ZIG markers
A little sentiment underneath (from Happy Little Stampers) stamped in gold ink.
A few dots of white Enamel Accents here and there to give the effect of falling snow .... very CAS
and I've used the holly sprig on the inside too, as a little decorative accent for the sentiment
A bit of masking tape over hedgie before inking up the stamp ...... easy!
Well that's another Christmas card for the box ..... I think that gives me four now! I think I'll need a few more than that come December.
Thanks for popping by ... enjoy the rest of your day.
In our quest to watch all of the Marvel Super Hero movies ..... from the first one, and in the right order, we watched The Hulk last night ..... glad that one's out of the way that's all I'm saying!!
It's Iron Man 2 next I believe .... at least there's Robert Downey Jr to look at on that one!
Cheerio until next time ....

CAS perfection! Love that little hedgehog with his holly and Christmas scarf! Thanks so much for joining us at CAS Christmas!
I'm so glad you got by to share in our new CAS Christmas challenge, Linda! Your little hedgie is so adorable and I love his sweet sprig of holly! Love the inside too!
What an adorable hedgie & holly card, Linda! The image is colored so pretty and the spacious white background works as a spotlight on the little guy! Masking the hedgie and adding snowfalls/white Enamel Accents - all great details. Thank you for sharing your sweet card as CAS Christmas! Hideko
So stinkin' cute, Linda! I missed this and just saw your well-deserved HM from CAS Christmas! The dots are amazing - at first I thought they were a debossed e/f. They add just the right touch!! Hugs, Darnell
