In case you haven't heard, my sweet friend, the fabulous Loll Thompson, has decided to start her CAS Christmas challenge up again! She also invited me back to the design team ~ YAY! The challenge launches today with Loll being our hostess with the mostess. First up: BIRD.
My card began with a pretty dove die cut.
The dove die cut (Memory Box, I think!) was sent to me by a friend. I added some Copic coloring to the bird, along with a bead for the eye, and nestled her into my stamped PTI Rustic Wreath. The sentiment, also from the wreath set, was stamped in PTI Autumn Rose ink. I added several more little dots to the wreath using this ink as well. A few Simply Graphic pine branches helped to ground the bird along with some punched dots. Simple and pretty. The hubs loved it!
Okay friend, it's your turn now. It's never too early to start working on that Christmas card stash and this challenge is a great way to get you motivated. Pop over to the blog for more inspiration from the team along with all of the challenge details. Thanks so much for stopping by!
So lovely to see you are part of the team for the re-launch of the challenge Lisa, with this wonderful card. I love the leafy wreath you have stamped, and the added die cut dove sits very happily on it. The additional pine branch and berries finish it beautifully, and the coordinating sentiment is perfectly placed within the wreath. x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Lisa!! I love that beautiful bird die-cut. He looks right at home inside the pretty wreath. Love the finishing details. So glad you are on the team, Lisa!! Loll xx
ReplyDeleteYour soft design just took my breath away, Lisa! I have that sweet dove and this pretty card has gone to the top of my to-CASE list! I love every detail, right down to the rounded corners! It's wonderful to have Loll bring back one of my favorite challenges and I'm glad you are on the DT! Hugs, Darnell

ReplyDeleteLisa, I love your dove die, it is so adorable!

What a sweet, SWEET card Lisa! I remember that wreath well and your sweet dove fits so perfectly in the bottom of it! Love the soft pinks and greens too! I'm so glad this challenge has come back and I hope to play along as often as I can (another month of dealing with mom's house sale and then hopefully will have a bit more free time!). Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightfully clean and simple Christmas card, Lisa! Love the sweet little bird tucked into the dainty wreath.
ReplyDeleteThis is SO pretty, Lisa! I LOVE this sweet dove and the soft colors! It's so nice to see this challenge again and you on the DT!
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh, this is so pretty! Yes, it's a Memory Box bird and one of my favorites. I love your touches of pink keeping it all the more sweet and gentle. I absolutely love your card, Lisa!

ReplyDeleteThat sweet dove fits perfectly in that Rustic Wreath, Lisa. I haven't used that one in ages. The little dots add so much to it.

ReplyDeleteTweet card… the soft colours convey the serene symbolism of the dove during this time of year perfectly.
Love the combination of the stamped wreath and the die cut bird and branches. It keeps the card perfectly CAS but adds a lot of interest. I'm so glad that Loll resurrected CAS Christmas and that you're on the Design Team.
