AAA Cards #144

I was intrigued by this week's challenge because it forced me to create a Christmas card in July, something I normally don't have the mojo for at this time of year.  I'd rather run out of time in December and crunch out cards under stress with a deadline looming!  LOL

Another challenge for me (always has been) is to create a true CAS card.  I will agonize over everything in creating a CAS card because my natural inclination is to "junk it up."  The word struggle comes to mind, but it doesn't mean I won't try to create a card in the truest definition of CAS just to see if it gets any easier!

So, here's my sweet little CAS card that probably took me well over an hour because I made a few prototype drafts before settling on this card.  I'm happy with it as it reflects my wonderful life here in Florida.  If I were home in NY, I'd be grabbing a bear image!!!  I had a terrible time photographing the white card, so I ended up scanning it!

I added a little bit of splatter with silver acrylic paint just for a bit of sparkle!  Santa hat and flamingo legs were colored directly with a Tombow marker.  Flamingo body was water colored with Tombow scribbled onto a slippery surface.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Birds of a Feather (Lynda Kanase -Sizzix), Sentiment (Unknown)
Papers:  White Cardstock (Hammermill), Watercolor (Canon)
Accessories:  Tobow Markers - Red (#856), Pink (#703), Grey (N95), Silver Paint (Craftsmart), Versafine Onyx Black

Thanks for stopping by!

xoxo

I love your adorable Santa hat flamingo, Lyn. Your comment about how you'd rather wait and stress out in December making cards had me laughing out loud. Thanks for playing along with us at AAA cards!

Well it looks like your struggle was worth it. Super CAS card and plenty of empty unpatterned white space. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards, hope to see you join in with future challenges too.

Thanks for all the lovely comments! I forgot to mention the Santa hat was from TH Mini Bird Crazy by Stampers Anonymous.
