CAS Christmas May 2020

I had several ways to go with my card for CAS Christmas - Winter Berries.  After much deliberation I settled on a PTI Botanical Block so I could use my metallic watercolors from Altenew.
The image was gold heat embossed on black watercolor paper, painted and trimmed. The sentiment from HLS was also gold embossed.  Since two images fit on the watercolor paper, I painted a second card the same.  It's always good to have more Christmas cards ready.

Thanks for dropping by.  Stay safe.

This is beautiful and elegant Bobby! Love the image gold embossed on black --- so very striking with the contrast of your white card front. The metallic inks really show in the colouring of your beautiful holly and berries. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Christmas!
