CAS Christmas May ~ Winter Berries

Winter Berries is the theme for our May CAS Christmas Challenge friends!

Loll is our hostess and you know she has something wonderful to show you as do all the design team members, so please go check out their cards!

I used an older set from PTI called Beautiful Berries Winter!

I stamped and masked the berry branch and brushed on some mint green ink (after masking the top and bottom of a portion of the card.)  You can't see the shimmer, but I added some clear Spectrum Sparkle to the frosty blue berries!  It really is quite shiny!

I hope to see you in the gallery joining us this month with your Winter Berry card!

And while you are there, look at all the team's cards and our special guest, Lynne, you can find her blog HERE!

Heart Hugs, friends!

PTI ~ Love of Layers

This card is for the current MIM over HERE where Laurie Schmidlin adds lots of wonderful layers to her card.  I  love when other people make a card with layers, I usually don't love mine, but this time I really like this.  I added extra depth to the card by running my versamark around the edges and white embossing it, I had also sponged some white ink around the edges.  I stamped and embossed white snowflakes and added die cut snowflakes from both white cs and vellum.  I had to add a couple of branches from the Beautiful Berries: Winter.  the final touch was some nuvo white drops to mimick snowflakes.  Here is Laurie's card:
