A Christmas card made by Loll Thompson was chosen for this month's Stamplorations blog challenge called "CASEplorations". Here's the link so you can see Loll's card that the challenge wants us to CASE:
Loll made her background with red watercolouring stencilled over with Inka Gold. I made mine by spritzing gold spray over a stencil (which coincidentally is a stencil Loll made for me on her cameo). I kept the idea of a die cut sentiment but changed the die and the colour. I used Loll's theme of a candle with holly, but instead of fussy cutting it, I die cut mine with a label die and sponged around the image with Antique Linen while it was still in the die.
I embellished with gemstones for the holly berries and a bit of Stardust gel pen on the flame.
The challenge runs to the end of the month. Here's the link if you're interested:
Accessories: Tim Holtz joy die, Heidi Swapp gold spray, Nesties label die, copics, homemade holly swirl stencil, red gems, red Pearl Pen, Stardust gel pen

LOVE the look of the gold spray over the holly flourish ... makes a gorgeous background that could be used all year round, not just for Christmas cards. Your candle and holly are so pretty and I love the bright colours against the gold background. Thanks so much for honoring me with CASEing my card. xx
