It's time for the April CAS Christmas Card Challenge! Trina is our creative hostess this month and she wants us to think Rainbow!
It takes a minute to think rainbow along with Christmas doesn't it?
So after I thought a minute - I decided to use a snowflake stencil and use my blender brush to brush the rainbow colors over it, starting in the top left corner - red, yellow, orange, green, blue - and then I added purple on the little stamped trees!
I framed it with a die cut stitched frame, stamped the sentiment from PTI In the Meadow on the panel and added Clear Glitter Wink of Stella on the centers and ends of the arms on the snowflakes and on the trees
(can you see the sparkle below?)
We can't wait to see how you mix Rainbow with Christmas! Check out all the DT inspiration as well as our delightful Guest Designer Izzy over at CAS Christmas!
