The first is very CAS. I sponged blending ink onto the base card through a circle stencil then topped it with a die cut medallion. I then die cut the word JOY and added it to a strip of blue card and mounted the whole thing over the background.
I am sharing this with CAS on Friday - Big Sentiment or word
The second card is still bold but not at all CAS!
I used heavyweight watercolour paper to create a smooshed background, smooshing first with Twisted Citron Distress Oxide, letting it dry and then smooshing with Festive Berries. Then I used a clear sparkle embossing gel from Nuvo to stencil the mandala quadrant on the top right of the card. I ran a black inkpad around the edge and then added the die cut sentiment with an extra but of bling to pick out the centre of the snowflake.

They are both so different. Very clever to use the same main feature but turn out such different cards. Love Dawn x

Two very different but delightful cards. I love the vibrancy of your smooshed card, very dramatic. Thanks for joining in with the 52CCT this week.
A fabulous Twofer, Jane! I love how one is lady-like and demur with her white gloves on and the other one is out rocking the disco scene in stilettos and slurping tequilla sunrises!! Hugs, Darnell
Both cards are lovely. Thank you for taking part in our 52 Christmas Card Throwdown Challenge - Myrna DT
