Playing along in a few challenges today, started with the challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches #499 where they have a color challenge this week:

I didn’t use any dies or stamps to make the trees, just cut some card stock and used a blending brush to stencil on some dots and add some color. The background was embossed before I arranged the trees and the sentiment was heat embossed on vellum. I finished it off with some shiny dots on the trees.
Joining these other challenges:
Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps #661- dots and/or stripes
Pammie’s Inky Pinkies #2249 – anything goes
CAS on Friday #245 – greeting card
Christmas Kickstart #69 – anything for Christmas

So pretty! I love the texture on the background and the subtle stenciled touch on each tree! Thanks for joining us this week at CC&S!
