For today's hop, I made two CAS cards...
This first one is my Hot of The Press Christmas tree, white embossed onto watercolour paper and a wash done with watered down Faded Jeans distress ink ( thanks to some inspiration from my friend Glenda!) I found a teeny tiny Christmas greeting on a freebie set of stamps from last year and felt it finished perfectly. I made my background on the base card by stamping an Inkadinkado flourish with Tea Dye distress ink onto the cream card base.
The second card also uses the same stamp, this time embossed with Gold EP and this time my background was with a paint wash - in pearlescent creams and ivory colours. Not to noticeable in my photo but quite stunning in real.

Wow Dawn these cards are beautiful. I so love this stamp. I don't any of these and now you have me curious about this brand. Thanks. I am sure my hubby will love that!!! Lol. Just kidding. Love the different look of each card. They are so elegant and charming. Thanks for sharing. I am gonna be in touch on the weekend. I am still doing my Christmas Cleaning. My in-laws come tomorrow, they are suppose to be here today but due to a snow storm they are delayed. Sad but at least it gives me a little time to get everything completed. Lol. So I will be try and connect with skype to get you added to my list of friends this weekend and we can chat when you are off work okay. Whatever works best for you. Okay gotta go. Hugs.
That is a beautiful christmas tree and you have made two beautiful cards with it.
