November CAS Christmas Challenge

Hi everyone.  This month's CAS Christmas challenge is hosted by Susan, and she has picked ... 

I went through my stash of backgrounds and settled on two pieces that I used for the same design.  Both cards are made completely of snippets, except for the card bases. :)

This is helping me build my stash of Christmas cards.

The above background was done as a dirty pour with acrylic paints on canvas paper.  I've had this in my stash since 2018.  Crazy, right??!!

I made these backgrounds with friends (and zoomed with more friends) during a retreat many years ago.  We did a lot of dirty pours (mixes of diluted acrylic paints with a little silicone oil), which creates beautiful designs.  They make the most beautiful skies. :)

While I had my die out, I used another leftover background piece (brushos) to make the card below.

Sending these cards to the following challenges:

Darnell's IDEAS Calendar - Week 1 - Inks (card 2 only)

Snippets Playground Challenge #544 - I used snippets for all the pieces of each card, except the bases :)
