It’s getting close to crunch time, so here’s a quick CAS design that can help you get the last of those Christmas cards made and ready for mailing.

The card base was masked to leave a long wide strip slightly off center. Sponging the exposed strip, I began at the top of the card and worked to the bottom. An ombre effect was created by sponging with more pressure at the top. As I worked down the strip there was less and less ink on the sponge. I also applied less pressure the lower I got.

The dove was die cut and popped up on foam tape. A tiny bit of glitter was added to the olive/berry.
