August CAS Christmas

This months challenge at CAS Christmas has the theme of 'Pine'.


Dipping into the Christmas boxes I came across a Uniko stamp set which fitted the theme.

The pine branches stamped with Memento Cottage Ivy ink then a bit of shadow stamping added to puff it out a bit.

I don't have a lot of brown inks (which shall no doubt be rectified very soon 😉) but I had Memento Rich Cocoa which actually looked OK for the pine cones!

Again some shadow stamping before I fussy cut the pine cones.

A liberal spattering with a white Posca pen and a sentiment from Penny Black.

Thanks for looking and I hope the sun is shining where you are! x

What a lovely CAS Christmas card and it fits the theme to a 'T' (having typed this my brain is now asking me where this saying originated) 🤣. Will have to ask Google.

Love these pine boughs and pine cones with the falling snow, Viv! My Rich Cocoa stamps purple now. Guess it's time for a new one.

This Uniko stamp is a beauty Viv, and I love the shadow stamping and the added snow using the Posca pen, and the fussy cut cones add lots of dimension, and a very elegant added stamped sentiment to finish..a wonderful seasonal make. x
