All CAS, (and there is something very calming about making things uncluttered - just what I need after all the hectic pace of the last 8 months) -most nice and flat for posting - although I confess to adding a few blingy bits here and there on some - which I will share another time - and the Christmas stash is swelling a little. Long way to go though.
Here's a bit of inky embossed nonsense to share, using up a piece of left over card for the matting.
The stamp is old so can't tell you anything about it!
White embossed then once again the dusters used for inking - I am getting on so much better with these now I have stopped trying to overload them with colour and build up the colour gradually.
The sentiment is a Penny Black one inked in Tumbled Glass DI.
My stocks of plain white card are quite low so time to start on the ton of linen and coloured card I have and not used. Got to make the most of the free time!

Beautiful, serene and calming Viv.....just what I need right now!...love it. xx
Lovely calm scene, very wintery, I understand dusting with ink dusters, a bit at a loss for any other kind !

This is simply stunning, Viv. The white embossed trees are beautiful, and the background is superb. Glad you're making the most of your me time. You've made more Christmas cards than I have so far!

Oh YES! This is just LOVELY Viv. Love the inking and the CAS-ness of it. Good for you on ignoring the dust and having some "me time".

This is absolutely GORGEOUS!! Reminds me of my childhood and hikes in a quiet, snowy wood!
What a lovely peaceful looking card this is Viv. It really is a beauty. I still haven't mastered the dusters. I think I may be overloading. Thanks for sharing your tip. Barbxx
This is such a beautiful CAS looking card Viv. I still haven't decided what type of design to use on my Christmas cards this year but this would be perfect. I absolutely agree with what you say about it being calming, it's such a peaceful and tranquil scene. Sandra X
Absolutely beautiful Viv! Soft, delicate colours create the most peaceful snowy landscape. Great work Viv! xx
It was wonderful to have you stop by, Viv, and it's wonderful to see you getting in some crafty time! Your CASlicious Christmas scene is iconic and I love how you have captured the hush and delight of fresh snow in the forest!! Hugs, Darnell

Hi Viv, The years are passing by so quickly, long time since the ATC days. I love your card, the dust applied background is gorgeous. Loving the total design. Thanks for joining us at Cardz 4 Guyz. Caz(ro) DT.
More really pretty trees Viv and I love that pretty colour blue sky. I must buy some ink dusters at some point, although I get on with the blending foam OK I can see that they help to get a nice smooth blend. Glad you have had some more crafting time, and sorry I haven't visited you until now, I think I have got out of the habit knowing you are away a lot and not having time to craft. x
So, pretty and a great take on the challenge. Thanks for playing with us at TIOT.
Hugz, Z
Hi Viv, long time no see. Love your card, beautifully done, a very calming feel about it.
