CAS -Clean maybe Simple NOT

 Morning and another new month!!!I have three DT posts today and the first one is for the Christmas/Winter challenge at Dragonfly Dreams.

We are sponsored by Papernest Dolls and I was given the image  North Pole Mini Santa coloured with promarkers.

CAS you think??? Simple not so much -in fact by the end of making this card the background stencil, was in the bin and was going to be closely followed by the card!!!

I took at least 20 pics to get a decent one then remembered my daylight lamp-which was out of charge -turned to plug it in and stubbed my toe on a chair -after saying oops(or a word to that effect lol) I finally got a half decent pic.Two hours later I walked past the card on the table and thought ooh it doesn't actually look too bad-soooo here it is lol.The sentiment was Penny Black and texture Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue.

Amazing how in the end it looks so good to me! I know all about how CAS is not necessarily simple. There are sometimes details and planning and mishaps that make it take forever. I'm glad you saved it!

Oh my goodness, I have missed so many of your cards. I have been so busy the last few days. This Santa is adorable! I have had problems with my lighting lately. I was trying to photograph my first very long card (can't remember what they are called.) I could not get the lighting right on it for anything. One side was always darker.
