Two Calling Birds

Hi there!  I have to slip this post in on a Saturday because we're going to be gone for a week and I do want to play along in this month's CAS Christmas Card challenge.  The theme is Twelve Days of Christmas.  Here we have two of the four calling birds.  Perhaps we can imagine the other two are flitting around somewhere out of sight.  I know, it's a stretch... they can bump my card right out of the gallery and that's okay because I still had fun.  I made two of these cards:




I used three dies and a little piece of designer paper for this CAS card.  The music die with birds is layered for dimension.  Birds and Joy are colored with Copics.  Otherwise lots of white because that's one way to keep it clean and simple.  Please see supply list below my signature.


Thanks a bunch for stopping by.  See you again soon!

Paper:  Neenah 110 lb white, Memory Box Yuletide designer paper  Dies:  Yvonne Creations Holly Jolly Music Border, MFT Die-Namics Stitched Rectangle Frames, Cottage Cutz Joy

I love love LOVE everything about this card, Leslie! That thin "mat" around the white frame, and the white on white musical notes with 2 little "turtle doves" is just so SWEET! Beautiful creation.

I see what you mean - your blog takes a long time to load also. I even deleted my entire theme and layout, and remade it under the new blogger format with the new themes and layouts, removing everything except for my followers, and things STILL will not load. Yet my other 3 blogs all work perfectly! At least now I know I'm not alone, but that doesn't make me feel any better, either! LOL

Thanks for today's inspiration - I do love the card and plan on casing it.

Christmas card! I have some from three years ago that I might use this year as fill-ins. This "mostly-white" card is a beauty. The dies are wonderful.

Beautiful Leslie, they could be turtle doves and calling birds with the 2 of them hiding :)
I love your pretty Christmas score and cute birds. Thanks for joining us at CAS Christmas.

So beautiful, Leslie. You just have a way with all styles of card-making, for sure! I have a feeling it won't get "bumped." ")

Oh I like how simple and sweet this is. The music die cut is awesome and those tiny birds. Very pretty and sweet Leslie.

Beautiful card Leslie! I LOVE the gorgeous snowflakes and soft blue / aqua and white for your card. The musical notes are perfect since the 12 days of Christmas is a song and you have song birds singing it! :) Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Christmas! xx
