A Berry CAS Christmas

I've only made a couple of Christmas cards this year.
YIKES
It's only 172 days to go . . . 
It's definitely time for me to start getting ready for Christmas!

I started by taking a wander through my stash of digital stamps and chose some images that made my fingers itchy for some colouring and started with the elegant Berry Branch from Beccy's Place.  This image was a freebie and I'm sorry, but I can't find the link to share with you.  Beccy does have an alternate Berry Branch freebie available on her blog, so I will make another card using that image real soon.

I opened the Berry Branch image in Silhouette Studio and sized it to fit on a 5" x 7" panel.  I added the sentiment, printed on X-Press It blending card, trimmed down to size, heat set, then coloured with Copic markers.  I used liquid adhesive to secure the image panel to the front of a 5" x 7" top folding card base.

    I love CAS cards Tracy, they always looks so fresh and elegant. The bright red berries are the perfect accompaniment to your crisp, white card stock. Fabulous sentiment too.
    Cheers,
    Beccy
