CAS Christmas and AAA Cards #119

I'm glad there are still challenges to help me get my Christmas cards done ahead of time.  There is always CAS Christmas but now AAA Cards has a Christmas in July challenge.  My card works for both.
I gold heat embossed the PTI poinsettia on Pine Feather cs and colored them with my PolyChromos pencils.  The sentiment is from HLS.

I've been working fast a furious to get my Design Team cards made ahead since the next four weeks will be really busy and I don't want to forget anything.  It's nice that I can slip in a card or two for other challenges. I'll have another one tomorrow.

So glad you dropped by.

I love that you used the color card base and keep the card CAS, Bobby! The gold heat-embossing looks terrific with the green background, and the red pencil-colored poinsettia. Thanks for sharing this beauty at CAS Christmas! Hideko xx

Love the rich, dark green background, Bobby! The Polychromos pencils colored so well on it! A technique I need to try. Love how the gold embossing frames everything so elegantly! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Christmas!

Beautiful framed poinsettias image Bobby! Looks so pretty with the gold embossing on the dark green card base. And wonderful colouring with your pencils. Do you put down a layer of white first?? I just got my first set of Prisma pencils and I'm eager to play! :) Thanks for sharing your beautiful card with us at CAS Christmas! xx

Bobby, beautiful card. The pencils on the green card stock looks amazing and the outline in gold is the perfect frame. Thanks for joining us at CAS Christmas.

Gorgeous, Bobby! Usually red dominates on traditional colour Christmas cards, but I love that green is the main colour here. It’s such a rich green colour too and the gold embossing powder pops nicely against it. Beautiful pencil colouring. Thank you for joining us at CAS Christmas Poinsettia challenge. x
