Owl I want for Christmas - Hand Stamped Sentiments #353

 These little Christmas owls are so cute! They seemed perfect to be used for the sketch challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments #353

The little owls were stamped on a separate piece of Whisper White card stock, coloured and die cut

The owls were also stamped onto a piece of Whisper White die cut with the Stitched Nesting Label Die.  The owls were coloured lightly with Stampin' Blends and the area around coloured with Balmy Blue ink.  Dazzling Diamonds was added to the snowflakes and stars in the sky. 

The Nesting Label die was matted with the same size of Shaded Spruce die cut.  In order for the mat to show ,  the outer stitched line of the Whisper White one was trimmed away.

The sentiment die cut was matted in the same way.

Using dimensionals, the die cut owls were super imposed onto the stamped images getting a 3D effect.  Some sprigs, die cut in Shaded Spruce cardstock, were also added to the top. Real Red rhinestones were adhered to the berries.

 

Before adhering the die cut art piece to the card front, a loop of 1" Shaded Spruce ribbon cut in half was added behind it.

On the Shaded Spruce card base was added a Whisper White layer and then some retired plaid DSP.
