Christmas Birdie

 .
 Greetings,

After searching through my hoard stash of bird stamps, dies and stencils sets, I found this one from Concord & 9th that I have never played with before. My card will join the CAS Christmas Challenge: June that is newly returned to action by Loll. 

The SU Grey A2 base card was on my desk waiting to be used. I chose the biggest birdie stencil in the above stencil pack as I thought he was so cute. I used a soft roller brush to color him with Hero Hues Unicorn Pigment Ink. The beak, eye, wing, and feet were stamped with Memento black ink. I tweaked on the wing to highlight it.

The challenge asks for CAS Christmas cards and luckily Concord & 9th has this nice Merry Christmas and present stamps in the newer Joyful Wreath stamp and dies set that I used to complete the card. I  stamped them in SU Real Red. I thought that gives a festive touch to the card. 

Because both sets are having their first outing, I am adding this to NBUS #87.

 


Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come by again. I love having visitors

This is such an adorable bird, Jeanne!! Love him coloured in the classic black and white ... with a little red from the present and sentiment. Fantastic CAS design! Thanks for joining us at CAS Christmas! xx
