Winter is for the Birds!

Hello Blogging Buddies,

I have a new card to share with you this morning!

Ingredients:

Sweet & Sassy For the Birds stamp

Lil' Inker Designs Stitched Mats Rectangles dies

Inspired by Stamping Fancy Label dies

Darice snowflakes embossing folder

Cracked Pistachio distress ink

Core'dinations paper

Neenah paper

Copic markers

Bakers Twine

Snowflake Charm

When I started out to make this card I was going for a CAS look, but somewhere along the way I got distracted and this what I came up with! 

I started by stamping the birds from the Sweet & Sassy For the Birds stamps with black ink onto Neenah paper and colored them with Copic markers.  I die cut them with the Lil' Inker Designs Stitched Mats Rectangle dies and then inked the edges with Cracked Pistachio distress ink,  Next I stamped the sentiment with black ink onto Neenah paper and die cut it with the Inspired by Stamping Fancy Labels die and inked the edges with Cracked Pistachio ink and placed that on the Core'dinations paper and then die cut that with the next size up die from the Fancy Label dies and then inked the edges with the same ink.  I used kraft card stock for the base of my A2 card.  I took more of the Core'dinations paper and ran it thru my Vagabond with the Darice Snowflake embossing folder and then added that to the base of the card.  Next I positioned my birds and the sentiment onto the card.  I took some bakers twine and wrapped that around the top of the card a couple of times and then tied the snowflake charm onto the twine.  I really love these little birds!  I think they are just too cute all dressed up for winter!!

I hope I have inspired you to create something fun today!  Let me know if you think this looks like a CAS simple card or not.  I am a bit confused as to what constitutes CAS!!

Thanks for stopping by!
