CAS Christmas Card August Challenge

This months CAS Christmas "Twelve Days of Christmas" is hosted by the talented,
 Queen of Christmas DT girl,  Susan!



My card...

I stamped onto Vellum Bristol,  the partridge in a pear tree image 
from SU "Partridge and Pairs" retired stamp set
 using Versafine Black Ink and heat set with SU Clear EB Powder.

Then the fun began...watercoloring with Zigs and a water pen.
Grounded the tree with swishes using grey Zig.
When done I added Wink of Stella to the partridge!
I loved the results.

Next Die cut the A2 cardfront with Spellbinders "Hemstitch" Die. 
I placed the cardfront back into MISTI to stamp the sentiment and
then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
Attached to SU Whisper White 100# Card Base and Done!

Be sure and check out this fun challenge with awesome cards by the DT and GD.
You have until the 24th to play along:-)  Love and Hugs..
