This is for Lee's fun CAS challenge - using either a hibernating critter OR something that keeps you cozy like a warm scarf or fuzzy blanket!!
I have used both, the tree house is warm and cozy and the critters are snuggled up inside. The door is shut, so you won't be able to see them.
I made this with the magic of a MISTI stamp positioner and Distress Inks. I started with smooth white card cut to 4" square. Stamp the tree house in MISTI using really faint ink. Remove card from MISTI but leave the tree stamp in place on the lid.
Mask the tree house - I have acetate masks that I store with stamp. Using Archival ink (not too black) stamp the background trees.
The background inking was done using Smack & Squirt technique (smack distress ink pad onto aluminium foil, squirt on a lot of water and swish and scrub foam blending tool over card.
I like the rectangular blending foam as you can put it on an edge and get really close to an image.
Remove mask and use an aqua brush to apply left over ink right up close to the image.
Once dry, return the card to MISTI and using Versafine ink, re-stamp the tree house.
Doodle border, add dotty tree stamp and dot on some white spots using Sharpie paint pen.
I hope this is considered CAS enough, the design is small albeit busy, but I purposely placed it on a large card base to give a lot of white.
Thank you for looking.

What a startling scene, I was immediately captured! Love the tree house and those amazing stones! Terrific background, so cool! Everything about this is just wonderfully quirky!
