Hello friends.
I've been putting some watercolor holly on cards.
A super simple and favorite CAS layout.
The first card has an white embossed strip and some peeks of
dark green for contrast.
On the second card, I've embossed some gold foil and added a
gold embossed sentiment.
I'll take them over to Crafty Mo's Rudolph Challenge.
I believe I've entered this challenge every month this year.
One good reason why I have plenty of Christmas cards in my stash!
Thanks, Mo!
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Both of these are absolutely BEAUTIFUL Bonnie, but I really, really like the one with the gold embossed strip...SO ELEGANT!! And the holly and berries on both cards are colored just perfectly...CAS perfection my friend!! :0)
I love that PB berry branch, so pretty in the different greens. the white embossed background is so elegant and the gold is so rich and classy :)
Two simple and gorgeous cards Bonnie, the bright green and red look fab against the white and gold embossed panels.
love the layout you have used to such great effect on these beautiful cards Bonnie. The embossed panels make a great background for the focal point of the berries and leaves
Blessings

What a great layout on these cards! Looks fast and easy to make...just what I need as I am in a pinch to finish up making enough cards. So thank you for your "gift" of this layout. I love it and have similar things to make it. I so appreciate your skills -- water coloring and interesting designs being top of the list.
Fabulous cards Bonnie - may I CASE?
OOOhhh two fabulous cards Bonnie...beautiful water colouring of the holly. I like the gold one best...really opulent.xx
These are stunning. So beautiful! Bonnie Facebook Christmas Cover
These are beautiful, Bonnie. Great design. Love the embossed strip. xx
CAS at it's best. Absolutely gorgeous and love the water colouring on that really pretty die cut holly. Wonderful cards, both of them x
Love both of your beautiful CAS cards. Love the sentiment on the first card.
Very pretty design! I especially like the neat font of that first sentiment.
Bonnie, you will have us all looking for that Penny Black berry branch after seeing these gorgeous cards. I love both layouts, the stark contrast in with the white embossed panel as well as the rich gold one. Beautiful!
Lovely - so simple and elegant. I like the one with black the best!

Love the way you did a small section of embossing (for some reason, I rarely think to do that). It makes a great backdrop for your watercoloured holly. I love both cards - the gold makes a nice change from the white embossed strip. Love the font on the sentiment of the first card.
These are just gorgeous. The soft embossing on the first card shows off the beautiful holly and watercolor. That sentiment font is outstanding. The gold embossing added a touch of elegance to the card. Just stunning, Bonnie.
Beautiful cards Bonnie. Favourite layouts are something we all have and it just makes us happy when we use them. Yours is beautiful. I love the textured strips under your pretty watercoloured holly. xx
Two beautiful and elegant Christmas cards, Bonnie. I love your painted die cut holly and dry embossed panels. Agree, wonderful CAS card design. TFS my friend. Hugs..Nancy

I love your favorite CAS layout too, Bonnie, especially the diagonal line crossing over the horizontal strip. Your watercolored die-cut hollies are so pretty, and the dry embossed strips add so much interest to the beautiful open white space.

OMG couldn’t chose, both are totally awesome. Rich and so Christmas.
Truly, two beauties xx
You used one of my favorite PBs. I love how you exposed these beautiful branches on pressed panels. I love how you painted these branches.Hugs,

Gorgeous duet! I think my fave is the one with the gold strip as that gold really sets off your pretty holly.
Sorry I am so late getting round to comment...my hands are flared up again.
Thanks for taking part in the November Rudolph Days Challenge.
