CAS Christmas Reminder - Birds

Hello friends.  Just a friendly reminder that there's still time to play along with us at the CAS Christmas Challenge and we're looking for a BIRD(S)  on your Christmas card.


I decided to make a light hearted card this time around and went with one of the owls from MFT's Warm & Feathered Hugs stamp set.


I colored up this sweet little sledding owl with my Copics and die cut him out before attaching him to a background of dots using Echo Park's Hello Winter dsp with a Wobbles (Hampton Arts Mini Action Springs).  The little spring makes him look like he's flying down the hill!! 


I attached my dsp to a piece of Basic Gray (SU!) cardstock and a top folding white card base.  For my sentiment I used another piece of Basic Gray cs and embossed in white, and then added a foam strip to the back for some dimension.  Quick, easy, CAS, and FUN!!

You have about a week left to play along with us (challenge ends on the 24th), so check out all the inspiration from the DT and our Special GD right HERE and then play along with us...we'd love to help you get those Christmas cards done on time!!

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

What a fun owl card, Marcia! The holiday colored scarf beautifully pops against the pretty gray polka dot background, and I love the owl is sledding/wobbling! This card makes any receiver happy!
