Christmas Owl - Stampin' Up! Christmas Friends

   I'm continuing to have fun inking up my new stamps from the Sept.-Dec. 2024 Mini catalog.  I used another one of the cute animals from the Christmas Friends set as well as a great new background stamp Falling Snow for my card today.  The colors from Color Throwdown were perfect for a Christmas card; light blue cream and kraft.


  I started with a Balmy Blue base then a layer of Crumb Cake and another layer of Balmy Blue.  I embossed the Falling Snow background in white (because I don't have cream embossing powder).

  I used the Wildflower Designs dies to create a nice frame out of Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake.  I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Season stamp set in Balmy Blue and added some bakers twine then popped it up on dimensionals.

  The owl is stamped in Crumb Cake and then colored in with Stampin' Blends.  I think I might have colored too much as the little owl looks a little fuzzy lol!  Once he was cut out I popped him up on the side of the frame.

2 Rainbow Adhesive Dots embellish the top and bottom of the frame as a final touch.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
