Hi everyone, it's so exciting to have CAS Christmas back with the monthly Christmas challenge.
I definitely need incentive and inspiration to add to my Christmas card stash, what about you?
For our first challenge we are looking for som Birds on your cards
Just a remind of how we interpret CAS
This month our Guest designer for this month is Bobby of Bits and Pieces, don't forget to stop by and say hi.
My card is a quick CAS card using the Grumpy birds from Unity. I stamped the image using memento ink and quickly coloured it using alcohol markers. I left the stamp in the positioned as I painted the white parts of the hat with a white ink, let it dry and then re stamped the image. I die cut the image using a decked edge die and layered it onto a card base. The sentiment is from Stamping Bella.
I love using these guys because the have such wonderful grumpy expressions on their faces.

So lovely to see you on the team for this re-launch of the challenge Christine and with this really fun and pretty card beautifully coloured, and I love the deckle edged mat you have placed them on, and what a wonderful sentiment..the perfect finishing touch. x
This is such a fantastic image, Christine. Your colouring is perfect. Those birds definitely shouting the sentiment and we better obey! :) I love that you coloured the white with parts of the hat with paint and then re-stamped the outline. Such a great way to make it stand out. So happy you are on the team, Christine! Loll xx
How hilarious this is, Christine, both the image and the sediment! I love how you colored them and used the deckled edge for the panel! It's wonderful to have Loll bring back one of my favorite challenges and I'm glad you are on the DT! Hugs, Darnell
Clever idea to do the white and then stamp over it again for the detail - these grumpy birds look Great! Love the faces and their pretty hats! but I don't think they are going to be jing-ling?!?! Julia xx
Those grumpy birds in their fluffy stocking caps are oodles of fun! What a great CAS card, Christine. So happy to be back on the team with you ;)
Those grumpy birds are hilarious Christine! Although I don't know why a bird would be grumpy during this time of the year, but you colored them especially well and the hats are adorable! I am so happy CAS Christmas is back and I am very happy to be joining you on the design team!
Brilliant CAS card, love the fabulous Grumpy birds and great colouring.

A wonderful Christmas card, Christine. I love the coloring of this card, the beautiful, delicate colors of the birds, and those gorgeous white hats. What a brilliant idea to color the edges of the hat white and then stamp them again. Wonderful inspiration, dear Christine.
Hugs,

Triple the bird fun, Christine! I LOVE these fun birds with their bright winter hats! I'm so glad to see this challenge again and that you are on the DT!
So FUN-tastic! 😂 The Unity grumpy line is just awesome. Love this!
What fun birds and, oh, my gosh, the sentiment is hilarious with them! They really look like they're eager to get their jingle on, tee hee! Love it, Christine!
Christine this is too funny with those grumpy birds. They are colored so beautifully. Awesome card and glad to be team mates once again.
I absolutely love the grumpy birds. Wonderful acrd1
Your birds made me giggle, Christine. I think I'd be grumpy too having to wear those hats.
this is great. I love the effect of the white ink. Thanks for explaining how you did it xx
What a lovely card, colours and inspiration plus xx
Love your use of the Grumpy Birds - great idea to paint the white parts of the hats while it was in your MISTI and then restamping. I must remember to do that with Santa hats and toques.
I love your festive birds and its so nice to have the CAS Christmas challenge back!
Ha ha! This made me laugh - their grumpy faces are just perfect. xxx
