CAS Christmas - Birds

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.

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 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!
