Growing In Unity Day 4

Today's project is a Christmas card using the owl from the set Going to be Owl Right.  The sentiment is from Foxy Christmas.

The image is watercolored.  I covered the background paper with some vellum so that it won't be overwhelming for the actual focus of the card...the owl.  Then added a few die cut snowflakes, some washi tape, and gold twine.  I really love how this turned out.

Hope you liked todays card.  Don't forget to leave a message for a chance to win 25 random stamps.  2 winners will be picked.  Good luck and have a Happy Thanksgiving.
