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:
Essentials by Ellen June Mix Up Challenge (with Technique Tuesdays)
CAS Mix Up June Challenge
My third choice is either fussy cutting (the bird body), paper piecing, and/or washi tape (the last two are not on the list...)

Ganz seuss genau, Susanne! Love everything about this delightful design! Thanks so much for playing Simon Says Stamp Wednesday “Father’s Day/For a Guy” Challenge! Well done!
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.
Such a sweet card. Thanks for playing along with us at AAA Cards this week.
So cute. Love your paper pieced bird. Hugz
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
Oh my! I nearly forgot I have these darling chickadees! How cute is your little guy, finely-feathered in blue! That speech bubble: brilliant! Yep...love this!
Hugs~c
Oh WOW!! I LOVE that fun bird and the sentiment is even better. Really adorable card!!
