Peace on Earth's new mood board has a beautiful image of a Snowy Owl so I was inspired to pull out a very old stamp and create this card.
In my first attempt, I stamped and heat embossed the owl in silver and then tried to stamp the trees around it but it just came out looking messy so I discarded it and started again.
I stamped and heat embossed the owl in silver on a small piece of white cs and trimmed it with a small rectangle die. On a larger piece of white cs I stamped the snowy trees by tapping the stamp with two shades of green Distress ink. I trimmed that panel with a square die and added it to my card base. I popped the owl up on fun foam. And stamped and heat embossed a sentiment in silver and trimmed with a stitched banner die. It's not quite what I'd envisioned making but I feel I captured the owl and the snowy trees from the mood board.
We'd love to see what our mood board inspires you to make. Head over to Peace on Earth for more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team.

A gorgeous winter scene with the beautiful owl and trees, a few weeks ago we were awakened by a hoot owl that hooted non stop most of the night, even in the cold, maybe he was asking for a hot cup of cocoa lol!!
