Very CAS Bird Card

Wanted to play in the June Mix It Up Challenge where we are to combine Essentials by Ellen with Technique Tuesday products. So I dug out those fun chickadees and made this very CAS card. It took me, of course, much longer to make than it looks like... Did some paper piecing, watercoloring the shadow, added some washi tape, and die cute a speech bubble for the sentiment (which is from the Mondo Magnolia set).






Stamps: Technique Tuesdays (bird), Essentials by Ellen (sentiment)
Die: Lawn Fawn (speech bubble)


Challenges:

My third choice is either fussy cutting (the bird body), paper piecing, and/or washi tape (the last two are not on the list...)

Simply CAS-perfect and totally cute and classy. I certainly know what you mean about things taking longer than they appear. Don't think non-crafty folks realise! It's a great take on our watercolour challenge at AAA Cards and thanks so much for playing along. Sarah

Love your paper pieced bird and popped up word bubble. I spotted your bit of grounding for your bird...love it! Your washi tape is the perfect embellishment for your very CAS, but mixed media card. TFS Susanne.

Saw this at CAS Mixup, and just had to pop over to say HOW MUCH I like it. It's absolutely adorably cute, and how clever of you to use this bird for a CAS challenge! It's just brilliant, and I like the Washi green chevron with this shade of blue on the bird. Also love the sentiment. TFS & Hugs
