A Cute Little Owl

This week's Squigglefly challenge is to use a die or embossing - super easy to help with the rush of the holidays. I used a fun new set by Cheryl Grant Alger called Warm and Cozy. The set has 2 sentiments (I used one), a mug of hot chocolate full of marshmallows, the fun hat I used, and this adorable owl.


I embossed my bg snowflake paper out of my stash, colored up my owl with some SU! alcohol markers, and added some Snowtex. Cute, cute, cute!

Come join in the fun - there are so many great new (and old) images in the Squigglefly shop. I have 20 of them on my current wish list!!

I am also entering this in the:

Clean and Simple Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers which is to use music on your card (my bg paper has music done in kraft on it - you have to look closely)

    oh this is wonderful Nancy! I really love your snow and that you let it pile on top of the sentiment too. Great use of the sheet music too!
