This is a reminder for CAS Christmas Challenge, and Christine, our host, picked Christmas Birds for the theme for this month.
Here's my card:
[How I made the card]
1. Die-cut the bird's body, wing, beak, legs, and a branch.
I did a little surgery on the bird's body shape so that it would look like a cardinal.
2. Stamped the sentiment on the front panel and glued on the bird and the branch.
3. Stenciled falling snow with glimmer paste.
4. Adhered the front panel to the card base.
Please check out the challenge blog to see the wonderful sample cards made by our Designers. The link is open until October 24th.

You did an amazing surgery on this bird to make a fantastic cardinal, Hideko! The sweet red cardinal and dark branch make a huge statement with all this white space! An awesome CAS card, my friend!
ReplyDeleteHideko, your surgery was a success because I wouldn't have known this was intitially NOT a cardinal. Your card is terrific, so sweet and simple and definitely CAS!!
