FS845 = MDO Susan - as a fellow Susan, I had to take part in this Featured Stamper challenge. I CASEd this card of Susan's.
I loved the idea of an embossed script background with a bird theme, so I kept those two elements of Susan's card, but changed her cardinal to a chickadee, and did a stamped and watercoloured image of the bird and greenery, rather than die cuts. I did die cut the image with an oval die cut and also die cut a red oval border. And I kept Susan's traditional Christmas colour scheme.
Congratulations, Susan, on being Featured Stamper!

Susan, I like the idea of embossed background with a bird too. Super pretty Christmas card/case. Lovely in so many ways. Hugz

Chickadees are my favorites, on cards and real life (except for quail). It is really fun to see how you cased the card--I feel very honored. This card just makes me smile. Thank you!

Susan has so many pretty bird-themed cards in her gallery, I nearly chose one to CASE as well. You've made a beautiful Christmas card and I like the way you've colored this little bird.

Beautiful. You totally captured Susan's card with your own Susan version. I love that script bg too and it's super to show off that sweet chickadee image. Adding the pop of red with the oval frame adds both a great touch of color as well as to the Christmas look and feel. Great card.
