This is for FS191 and Alison...alimarbles is our featured artist. Congratulations, Alison! I had lots of fun browing through Alison's gallery and was especially intrigued with her project Well Scripted Curves. Well Scripted Curves by alimarbles at Splitcoaststampers I don't do many CAS cards but Alison's card inspired me to use my SU bird and branch punch for the first time. I changed the theme of my card to Christmas and changed the color combination to cranberry and green. I changed my tree limb to an evergreen branch. My sentiment is from a retired SU set called Season's Greetings and was stamped with Fired Brick and embossed with clear EP. The bird and cranberry layer on the card was made with Cottage Christmas dp. I applied dark brown ink to the edges of the bird and wing by swiping the edges along the ink pad. It's hard to see in the photo but I applied a little polar white Flower Soft to the evergreen branches.

Glad you finally used the SU bird.. it is so versatile and fun to play with... your card is so sweet! what a great sentiment.
the scalloped border is the perfect finishing touch!
