There's still some time to join in at CAS Mix Up.
This month we are using stencils and our host Viv challenged us to do...
I used a mask off a rectangle on a card front and sponged Twisted Citron ink
lightly inside the mask.
Then I laid a Tim Holtz mini stencil on top and sponged again.
So easy and it makes a fantastic background.
I watercolored a die cut pine bough and layered it over a die cut branch
with some Nuvo berries all tied up with a bow. (Actually the bow is glued on.)
Check out all the inspiration at the challenge site. You'll be glad you did.
Hope you'll join us at CAS Mix Up.
Challenge ends on the 24th.

I just love that background, it works perfectly with that pine sprig xx
I love your plaid in tone on tone. The pine bough looks beautiful over it. Lovely card, Bonnie.
Simply beautiful tone on tone stenciled background for your gorgeous die cut fir bough and berries and twine bow, Bonnie. This would be a fun design to mass produce. TFS and always inspiring me, my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy

Gorgeous sprig atop the plaid, Bonnie - just love all the die cuts you combined!!
Really like this design and the colors!
This is gorgeous Bonnie, and I love the colours of the tone on tone tartan background and the pine and berry branches are so pretty over the top, and finished beautifully with the red Nuvo drops on the berries and the coordinating red sentiment. x
The stencilling is so cool, but the greenery looks so REAL! Amazing, lovely Christmas creation!
I thought you die cut the plaid rectangle, it has so much dimension :) Love the card.
Wow, that plaid background looks perfectly stencilled!... thought it was pattern paper! Beautiful watercoloring of the pine branch. Love the design and attention to details from the bow to the Nuvo drops.
A stunning tone on tone stenciled background Bonnie - love it

Such a clever way to make that background! Just right for the pine and berries sprigs.

Sweet card Bonnie! I LOVE your tone-on-tone plaid background. Gorgoeus colours that really show off your beautiful evergreen spray! xx
So pretty, Bonnie, I'm just amazing at a simple solution... make your own "tone" to do this effect with - doh! You've done it well, my friend

Beautiful Christmas card design, Bonnie. It reminds me of the warmth of my family home and this incredible anticipation for Christmas Eve. How wonderful it was to come back to those memories, especially now during the pandemic
