Owl Red & White Christmas Card using cotton balls for fur

Created this Owl Red & White Christmas card using cotton balls for the Owl's hat.

My daughter & I like Owls.

I embossed the white cardstock twice. First with the tree pattern (which you have to look at closely to see) and second with the dots pattern. Used the Tim Holtz embossing diffuser to leave area for the stamping of the Owl & sentiment.

Colored the Owl with Crayola pencil colors. Used cotton balls for hat fur trim. After stamping the Owl with black I realized that the candy cane would be black & white so I used red & white glitter on the candy cane. Difficult part was being careful with the glitter since the candy cane was small. Used liquid Pearls on the Owl's eyes.
