I have a Christmas card I made for you today and I'm sharing it at two challenges.
The "Less is More" Green and Gold color challenge and the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge #139. Here is my card.
The image is from a retired Flourishes stamp set called "Under the Mistletoe", it was just perfect for both this challenges. I stamped the image with Gray Stazon Ink, I wanted to keep it soft and a bit vintage. As you can see, this image is simple and quick to color with my SU markers. I used Old Olive, Wild Wasabi, River Rock, More Mustard, So Saffron and Chocolate Chip. I added a bit of Wink of Stella to the leaves and the berries. The bow has a little shimmer gold paint.
I die cut the image with SU Label Collection dies, (retired) then, I glued it back in it's place to give this simple card a little dimension but still keep it CAS.
The gold ''Peace" word I can't remember where it's from. I made the mistake of not saving the name of this set of 4 dies, but I think it's from Spellbinders, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Here is a close up, I hope you can see the shimmer of the Wink of Stella and this pretty gold paint.
Here's the sketch that inspired this card. "Less is More" challenge is GREEN and GOLD. Till next time, happy stamping. Hugs from Maria.

Wow! Beautiful Mistletoe! I wonder what the rest of the lovely set comes with? Stunning! Nice pearlescent gold painting on your Peace Die. I don't recognize it but the font is just lovely!
Love the layered peace and pretty die cut. Gives this card such a rich look.
Beautifully elegant Maria, super colouring and a great take on our colour combo. Thanks so much for sharing and taking part.

Thanks Patti, the other stamps in this set are equally lovely.
Thank you Mary, I kept it really CAS by just die cutting the image and placing it back on the panel.
