Christmas Birds

I'm so pleased to see the CAS Christmas Card Challenge has restarted this month.  Their first challenge is 'Birds' and I have used a Rare Earth stamp set that I was given a while ago and is perfect for a CAS Christmas card.

To make this card I used:
     5.5" x 4.25" white matt card blank
     Rare Earth 'Winter Floral Collection' and Clearly Besotted 'Cheerful Christmas' stamps
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics' die
     Versafine Onyx Black ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail Embossing Powder
     Copics - C-1, E31, E33 & R27
     Diamond Stickles
     Snippet of white matt card

I placed the white card into my MISTI and used black ink to stamp the birds and sentiment before embossing them with clear embossing powder.  I then used the largest stitched die to cut the panel.  I used Copics to colour the image - E31 and E33 for the birds, R27 for the hat and C-1 to ground the image.  I attached the panel to the front of the card blank before adding Diamond Stickles to the hat band and pompom.

I am entering the following challenges:
     ABC Christmas Challenge - J for Just Enough (CAS)
     Addicted to CAS - Critter
     Allsorts - Anything Goes
     As You Like It Challenge - Favourite Season (I enjoy making cards for all seasons, but Christmas is my favourite as I love making cards and presents for family and friends)
     CAS Christmas Card Challenge - Birds
     Sparkles Monthly Challenge - Trios (my card has three birds)
     Triple B Challenge - Birds, Butterflies and Blooms
