More inspiration for you from the team at CAS Christmas Challenge, I hope you will be able to play along by creating a winter scene.
I was gifted this die from Trina, one of my team mates here at CAS Christmas when we were at our Craft Retreat back in May, I don't have a name for the die, but it came with 5 dies of different sizes. I really like it! I sponged on some DOX in the background and used a Sizzix thinlets die called Tree Line. I tried cutting it out with a dark forest green originally, but didn't really like the looks of it, probably because I tried to add snow drops and that really was not the right thing to do! That was put in the circular file (LOL) and I started over, I think the white looks more like a winter scene with snow on the all the branches, that must be what a winter wonderland looks like!
the little deer is from SSS. I think he is so cute turning his head like that. I cut him out with kraft paper and then sponged on some distress ink.
The challenge is open until October 24. We will have one more month of CAS Christmas Challenge, then we will take a break to get ready for the holiday and spending time with family!
See you in the gallery!
Heart Hugs, friends!
