CAS Christmas GD




I'm very honoured to be this month's Guest Designer at CAS Christmas where the theme is "Bird" and there is still plenty of time to join in the fun.

I used a holly triptych die, sponged with green ink, was going to use a sponged background but decided to go for the soft grey card then faffed about where to position the bird, centre or right?

Thank you for visiting my blog!

Beautiful Sue! I love the soft gray in the background. Great decision to put your bird on the right ... looks perfectly and the bright red adds a pop of colour. Very elegant design. Thanks again for being our Guest Designer at CAS Christmas! xx

This is a lovely card. I generally like cardinals on mostly white cards but they tend to be very similar. Yours is different and very nice.

Wow! What a beauty, Sue! You've positioned that bird just right in my opinion! And the holly is colored beautifully! Love the addition of the pearls! Oh, my, something else to add to my ever growing wish list! Thanks so much for joining our team at CAS Christmas as Guest Designer this month!

Gorgeous Sue, your die cut really takes centre stage. Great combo with the pretty red bird and your sponged holly sprigs. I really want that triptych die :)

Oh Sue, this is so beautiful. I love the design with the triptych die and it made a unique card. The sweet cardinal looks great and the addition of white berries is a lovely touch.

Wonderful card, Sue! The holly triptych panel is a fabulous centrepiece. Love how your red cardinal pops against it. It looks great right aligned Thank you for guest designing at CAS Christmas. x

what a gorgeous die and perfect for this challenge! Lovely coloring on the holly and great texture added with the berries!

Sue, I love the contrast between the die cut layer and the card base - subtle but just enough to make the die cut really stand out. Wonderful colouring on the branches, and the red bird stands out so perfectly! Thanks so much for being our Guest Designer at CAS Christmas this month!
