CAS-ual Friday's Stamps Feature - Christmas!!

Hello friends!! Today I am here for CAS-ual Friday's Stamps  feature post. For this post I thought it would be good to create some Christmas cards :) for inspiration.

I created two cards using the CAS-ual Friday's Flurry Fri-Dies and CAS-ual Friday's Must love Snowflakes , CAS-ual Friday's Merry Kiss-mas sets, Here is a closeup into my first card...

 

For both the cards I kept the technique same... water colored BG, I used water and some Distress inks to create a washed look. On my second card I did some tone on tone stamping of hollies and on my first card, I heat embossed the snowflakes. and did water color resist BG, I also stamped the sentiment in Delicata gold ink to add to the design. Then I added the sentiment banner with mistletoe on first card and added a die cut snowflake with some gold twine on the second.
I am sharing my first card at The Paper Players #225 - Black Tie, Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Bling it on!, Inkspirational #71 - Anything Goes with Gold and my second card at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown - Pick a previous challenge (I picked June color challenge #18),  Jingle Bells - Anything Goes! and Christmas Card Challenge #1
 
 

It was fun creating these cards, I hope I was able to inspire you. Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)

    Crushing over and smitten by your cards here, Deepti; they backgrounds are stunning; the impact of the subtle 'extra' stamping, especially the gold in the first, certainly adds impact. Thank you for sharing your gold-inspired gems in the Inkspirational gallery!
