Holly Owl

Hello lovely peeps


It's the first Saturday of the month which means it is time for a new challenge at Crafty Calendar.
The theme this month is

 'Christmas Time'

and the sponsor is Sami Stamp




For my inspiration card I have used Holly Owl

First I coloured the image using Promarkers and then doodled a border with a black fineliner pen.

I layered up a 7x7" card blank with First Edition/CraftArtist papers (which I edged with Pumice Stone distress ink), and added some some ribbon/twine

[Edit-I've added a pic of the ribbon because it's hard to make out]


To echo the holly hanging from the branches I made my own embellishment using matching card and a Sizzix Original die and attached it to silver wire with a glue gun



I would like to enter this in the following challenges:-
  Crafty Ribbons #178 Christmas..with ribbon

    This is lovely Katrina - I love seeing 'alternative' colours on Christmas cards although I'm not very good at choosing them myself. Mind you I've just bought the First Edition paper pad myself so I've made a start! Wonderful card. Hugs to you Sue Pxxx

      Thank you Christelle. There is ribbon there but it's white organza and hard to see. I have added a close-up now :o)
