Cozy Winter Birds for CAS Christmas

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by.

There's still time to get warm and cozy for Trina's challenge at CAS Christmas.
This is our last challenge at CAS Christmas for 2019!
We'll be taking the month of December off.

I've done a no-line watercolor on these little guys that are all bundled up
and cuddled together.

First I stamped the image with Shadow Gray Archival ink.
Then I've picked up ink that's been smooshed on my palette to color
the scene.  Finally, I've used the wet on wet technique to
color in the background, die cut and popped up on foam to the card front.

Their hats are winked with Stella and there's some sparkly paste on the
branch to look like snow.  While the sparkle paste was still wet, I
sprinkled some Dazzling Diamonds over top.

I'll hope you'll check out the challenge and see what our fabulous Design Team

and our Guest Designer Bobby have done to inspire  you.

Then join us with your warm and cozy CAS Christmas card at

CAS Christmas.
