A Kept Life: CASual Fridays Partridge In A Pear Tree

Thanks for stopping by! The CASual Fridays Design Team is showing projects made with the new Holiday Release that comes out on Saturday, July 16 . There's TONS of great stuff so see! Today we're showing the new "Partridge in a Pear Tree" and "Starlequin" stamp sets!

Isn't this a sweet image? It's a clean line drawing so it's super easy to color with markers, or emboss and watercolor.

I colored the image with Copic Markers. I chose blue for the little bird and color coordinated the background papers to match.

The set has a some cute accents like a separate pear, snowflake and birdie and two pretty script sentiments.

I added simple accents to my card like a bit of washi in the corner - it's GOLD. Sparklies are a must have for the holidays!

The Starlequin set is a holiday twist on the diamond harlequin pattern. There are two borders in the set - one wide and one thinner. I used the wide pattern on this card.

I admit I love a CAS card for Christmas - no going to the post office to have this one weighed and special postage applied. It doesn't get easier than watercolor!

I embossed the border on watercolor paper (Canson XL) and water colored with Peerless watercolors. The finishing touch was a sprinkle of Fun-Fetti sprinkles cut from gold foil paper.

The Sparkle and Shine sentiment is from the new Christmas Sparkle stamp set! I just love that font!!
