Christmas Owls

And here is a batch I finished today.

These little guys started out as gift tags, I then thought they would make great cards as well, this lead to this one complete with googly eyes.

Which then lead to these

Card Tip:

Using pre-coloured or digital images is a great time saver for multiple card production. You can then add your own touches like I have. I added wink of stella pen and glossy accents to their hats, ice stickles to the pom pom and sakura clear stardust pen to the prints on their chests.

Card Ingredients:

Card Stock: white A2 card base, assorted coloured card stock from my stash.

Papers: KlouiseDigiArt christmas traditional four tone digital paper.

Stamps: Gina K Designs seasonal labels for sentiment. Mygrafico Xmas owls.

Ink: Versamark ink and Allison Ellison white detail embossing powder.

Dies: Spellbinders lacy ovals, die ribbon tag trio.

Other: wink of stella clear pen, glossy accents, sakura clear stardust pen, American Crafts christmas collection ribbon.
