Christine would like to see a Winter Scene with your cards this month. I opted for a very CAS Christmas Winter Scene using Refined (Penny Black) for my winter bush, stamped in Coffee Archival Ink. I added red berries with red acrylic paint, and snow on the branches and berries using a white acrylic pen. The background is softly sponged Salvaged Patina ink (LOVE this colour!) and I used torn paper to mask snow hills, sponging with more of the ink. The final addition was the stamped sentiment (Snowflake Season - Penny Black), inked with both candied apple and fired brick distress inks to match the colour of the red berries.

What a perfect CAS Christmas scene. I love that stamp and the little red berries and snow xx
This is so beautifully done Loll, and I love the soft blue sky and the pretty snowy berry branches, and the red stamped sentiment goes perfectly. x
Pristine, and perfect! Like a sunny morning after a fresh coat of Winter!

I think it's time to open the package on my Salvaged Patina DI...your sky background is gorgeous and I love how you created the snowy hills, Loll! Great details on the winter bush, too...a really stunning one layer card!
Love, love, love this simple bush with the red berries and red sentiment Loll - wonderful shading with the blue to create the snowy drifts and winter air! xx
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL scene you created with your Winter bush and the snow covered berries Loll! Beautifully done...love it!! Hugs. :0)
Wow, Loll that's a gorgeous stamp and winter scene. Love the salvaged patina blended background and the red acrylic paint berries ♥
THIS is CAS prettiness, Loll! Love it!
Loll, this is stunning, You always create magic with your backgrounds and coloring. The berries and snow on the branches look so real! Hope all is well with you! Heart Hugs, Col (KYIMP)
Perfect CAS winter scene! Love the simple bush with the white gel pen creating snow on its branches. Beautiful soft sponging around it.
Beautiful card, Loll. What a wonderful design. xx
I wish I could admire such a beautiful bush this winter but it's more rainy than snowy....daffodils and tulips are already growing ! Love your gorgeous CAS card, Loll, and as I see your beautiful blue background I now remember that I have Salvaged Patina ink too. I think it is the best blue for illustrating a wintery and snowy landscape. Thanks so much for your warm welcome and for having me guesting with you this month. Hugs x
This is exactly how our landscape looks right, now minus the red berries, after our seven inches of snow. I love this soft winter scene and pop of red.
Beautiful card, Loll! I love the berry bush with the touches of snow you added! CAS design at it's finest! Sue N
Simply beautiful. Serene and soft and calming.
Loll, love this soft and beautiful background for your winter bush. Beautiful card, my friend. Hope all is well with you.
I am always impressed with the gorgeous job you do of sponging and this is no exception. That image is so perfect for this! Beautiful card and beautiful work, Loll!
Simple yet so elegant, Lolly! I love these branches with the snowy berries and the soft Patina background! I love how you did the snowy ground too!
What a fantastic one-layer winter scene card, Loll! Your card-making skills especially shine because the card is so CAS. Your masked snow hills are always beautiful, and they look so real, paired with the Salvaged Patina background. I love the detail of the berries and the snow on the branches. The color matched sentiment is a wonderful touch!
