I'm also playing along with the lovelies at Seize the Birthday, with their Anything Goes option.
What I was initially thinking of using turned out to be not very CAS, so I made a change of direction and used a fun little die set that is more in line with this challenge.
I adore the Simon Says Stamp Birdies die set, but it's been quite a while since I used it here, plus I acquired the Birdies Winter Accessories dies last month and wanted them to be able to take an outing in their latest apparel. Wait, what? Birdies around you aren't wearing their winter attire? Well, those poor little things! 😉
After all the die cutting and assembly, I thought the birdies needed an appropriate background, so I ink blended some sky and clouds on a panel of white using the MFT Rolling Clouds stencil, then adhered it directly to the card base. After adding the cute birdies on the branch, the sentiment (from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Crazy Talk) was popped up with a bit of thin foam tape. I'll add the Happy Birthday wishes on the inside of the card when I go to send it. The last step was to use a Sakura Black Glaze pen for their eyes.
What signs of winter would you like to share this week? For additional inspiration, please pop over to the challenge blog here, where my amazing teammates have some wonderful creations to share! You can play along until Friday January 23rd at 3pm EST. I hope you'll join us!
Thanks for visiting!

Stef, this is just so FUN! I love all the little birdies in their winter attire! The pastel colors are so pretty and the beautiful background is perfect. I am going to look for these colorful birds in my yard. Have a wonderful week, My Friend!
I'm going 'out on a limb' but these dudes might be the cutest, cuddly chicks around!

What adorable little birdies! I love their hats and scarves! Just the cutest!
Your birdies are adorable in their winter best! I love the soft colors you used!
Yes, an adorable and fun card. Lucky you having those birdies and the winter stuff.
Steph, Well if this darling card didn't put a huge smile on my face. Your colors are just perfect and the scarves and hats look so soft. Not sure how you achieved that but you did. The birds in my area are wishing they had coats instead of swimming suits right about now. LOL Thanks for sharing this card with us at Seize the Birthday.
Those winter-garbed birds are just so wonderful! It was a big smile from me for sure! Your sky and clouds are, as always, superb too. The colours you've picked are just perfect.
Totally adorable Stef!! I LOVE your background with those fabulous clouds and bright, blue, winter sky. Your birdies look so sweet in their winter finery! :) xx
Stef, these adorable in your soft colors!!!!! The leafless branch sure denotes winter too. Such a great card!
How adorable Stef - your super-toasty birdies look delightful in their winter hats and scarves - gorgeous!
