CAS Christmas April Challenge

Hi everyone.  Today is the start of the April CAS Christmas challenge.  This month is hosted by the wonderful Trina (Phamtastic Design)!
I used a sweet snow scene die-cut from white and then die-cut a full circle to place behind, which was watercoloured with a rainbow sky.  Added white splatters of diluted acrylic paint for the snow, and heat embossed Frantage Chunky White for the snow along the hills and on the trees.  Stamped the sentiment in soft gray (Christmas Sentiments - Penny Black).  Popped up the circle to add some dimension to the card.  Used an falling snow embossed background, which was a gift from a friend.

We are so excited to have Izzy (Izzy Scrap) as our Guest Designer this month.  Check out the challenge blog to see Izzy's amazing Rainbow Christmas card, along with the fabulous cards from our Designers.  Hope you'll join us!

    I would never have thought to use a rainbow as inspiration for a Christmas card but now I've seen yours I know how to do it. This is a gorgeous card.

    I love the pretty white die cut trees with that gorgeous rainbow of colours for the background sky Loll, and love the added snow and splattering, and the background falling snow embossing finishes it beautifully. x

    I'm not at all surprised that your rainbow sky is stunning, Loll...the colors blend perfectly! Your tiny trees are a great way to showcase your sky and I love how you added the 'snowflakes' to your design! Love how you placed the embossed Frantage, too! Beautiful card, my friend ~ xx
