Christmas Crazy Bird!

 


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at CAS Christmas Challenge
 and Christine has chosen Christmas birds as the theme.



Our guest designer Anita and the design team have some wonderful cards to inspire you, so I hope you can play along.

I recently purchased the mini crazy birds (they were a crazy sale price!) to add to my other crazy bird collection.

The bird was stamped, clear embossed, fussy cut and coloured with prismacolour pencils. I paper pieced the fussy cut one over a bird stamped on the base, then dressed him up for Christmas.

The sentiment was inked with versamark and embossed with blue tinsel embossing glitter and the stars with silver metallic embossing glitter. Love the sparkle!

Here's a closer look.

I'm linking up to these challenges:

Merry Little Christmas Challenge, anything goes Christmas,




Allsorts, cute Christmas.



Supplies:
Tim Holtz mini crazy bird stamps; versafine clair nocturne ink & clear ep; Simon Says Stamp Christmas die; versamark ink; Ranger blue tinsel and Wow silver metallic embossing glitter;  prismacolour pencils; Memory Box snowy breeze border die ( for the stars); Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die; sentiment sticker.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x
