I got busy this morning a made a few cards for the CAS Challenges!
First up is the CAS Christmas Card Challenge April ~ Ornament
I embossed the ornament stamp with Gold EP, watercolored with my Zig Clean Real Brush
Penny Black: Most Wonderful
This second card is for the April CAS Mix-Up Challenge ~ rubberbands
What a fun technique, I enjoyed this one !
I embossed the rubberbands and sponged on some kraft ink, I used a die cut and stamped a flower.

How fun to play in all of Loll and Bonnie's challenges, Colleen. Each card is so different and perfect for the challenges. Your bird reminds me of tropical birds with such bright and colorful markings. Isn't the rubber band technique just soooo much fun?!? Pretty soft colors for your ornaments too. TFS and joining all the challenges, my friend. Hugs...
WOW ... all three challenges! You were busy, Col!! Each card is amazing. LOVE the sweet pink and gold ornaments ... the rubber band embossing is so pretty with the soft colour and paired with that gorgeous purple tulip and sweet yellow butterfly ... and your bird is so beautiful and bright and love the branch with leaves and berries. Thanks so much for sharing with all three of the CAS challenges! xx

Wow, Colleen, a threefer! Your ornaments are so pretty with the gold embossing and watercolor! I love the way you've sponged the kraft color over the embossed rubber band stampings and the framing and flower are so pretty! You have colored that bird beautifully!

Three gorgeous cards for the three challenges Colleen! I love the subtle look of the clear embossing using the Rubber Band Technique - such a lovely sympathy/thinking of you card! Thanks for playing along with my CAS Mix Up challenge! Julia xx
So enjoyed reading your post and what amazing cards...all three of them. The Christmas card is so elegant and classy and love the colour of the baubles. Such a pretty and delicate second card and love the tulip and the soft and gentle use of the rubber band technique, so perfect for the card and the occasion. Such a sweet and beautifully coloured in third card, vibrant and eye catching. The technique is fun, isn't it? I can see lots of possibilities for it and I am enjoying it too. Thank you for popping your card into the gallery at The CAS Mix Up challenge x
Wow, you've certainly been quite busy with all these CAS challenges. Each card is just so beautiful. Love the gold ornaments with the fabulous pink zig w/coloring. The rubberband card is equally eye catching with the subtle background and the lovely tulip. And I always love anything with birds,and I'm envious of your water color skills! Just a very lovely assortment of beautiful & beautifully done cards. TFS
A beautiful trio, so much fun making these each unique! Your colours choices are perfect for each technique, impressive too. Loving the softness of the rubber band technique, bravo.
