for this card I used the cute little owl from Gerda Steiner Designs:
- create a background on watercolor paper using Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Weathered Wood, Shaded Lilac) and pearlized water
- stamp snowflakes from Lawn Fawn Winter in the Park with Versamark and heat-emboss with WOW! White Puff Ultra High embossing powder
- color Gerda Steiner Designs Owl wish you a Merry Christmas with Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor and Zest-it
- use Wink of Stella Clear and White Glitter on the cap, Wink of Stella Clear Glitter and Glossy Accents on the baubles and Gelly Roll Stardust Clear on the snow on the branch
- tie a bow around the panel with Hemptique Hemp Cord White
- use kraft cardstock as a base and stamp the border with Versamark using Technique Tuesday In Stitches and heat-emboss with WOW! Metallic Silver embossing powder
- stamp the sentiment and three single snowflakes from Create a Smile Schöne Bescherung with Versamark and heat-emboss with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
