CAS Colours and Sketches 154

I play quite a lot at CAS Colours and Sketches as I enjoy the alternating colour and sketch challenges and the challenges are always just that - a little bit different so you have to think about what you're doing. So thank you team, this year it's been a pleasure to play along with you.

And that's why I wanted catch one of the Christmas challenges. I like the idea of taking a previous challenge and Christmas-ing it up. I missed the colour one last week - too much on.

So after consulting the archive, I went with this one from the start of the year. I must have been on holiday, as I don't remember seeing it before and it's such a beauty.


I don't often use patterned paper when I make cards, but every now and then I come across some paper that is too beautiful for words. I loved this paper from Kaisercraft Holy Night because of the opulent colours and rich designs.  I bought a 15cm pad of it to make some Christmas decorations of course, there are leftovers for the stash.

The paper is so lovely that I think you need a CAS design to let the papers shine and that's what this sketch lets it do.




Update: Delighted to have this card chosen as a Weekly Winner at CAS Colours and Sketches.
