So, I had seen that Kelli has a cas challenge last week to recreate one of your own cards and to make it CAS and such... and when I was poking around in my own gallery I came across this one, where every sprig of holly you see was stamped and colored and cut out with scissors with lots of foam pop dots every where... and I knew I had this holly frame that had not been cut yet, so I cut it with cream cardstock. colored parts of it with a gold gel pen. and I never got around to finishing it until today. I let that gold ink dry, and then buffed some pale bundled sage oxide ink over the top. and I used a fairly large brush so when some ink got on the gold it gave it that tarnished vintage look so, I totally covered those pieces with the green and added some red marker to the center frames berries. the gold in the center is a drop piece that I think you use for spacing the frames equally on the card but, I liked it and left it shiny gold. I did cut one more square to stamp the sentiment on and just layered the lacy layers to that. Thanks for this challenge Kelli, & tfl.
