I used one of the newest sets from Treehouse Stamps - Olivia's Christmas - which is now available on their site! You must check them out as so many of their sets are perfect for paper piecing! I also used CC#183 - Going Gray, Riding Hood Red and Green Galore. With these colors I couldn't help but make Christmas cards!!
This card is also for FS#84 - LazyLizard AKA Liz!! She is a sweet person and leaves the most sweetest comments on everyone's creations! Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers as they are recovering from Hurricane Ike!! You can see Liz's card I cased here: musical manuscript and a rose by lazylizard at Splitcoaststampers
I changed:
* Colors and stamp set
* Theme of the card
* Placed my ribbon and swirl clip in a different spot
* Added a background panel
For Olivia's wings I stamped the image onto retired dsp by SU!, Charbon. I like the effect the small pop of polka dots gives on here. For the scarf, I stamped the image onto Green Galore cardstock and then used my white gel pen to color in the dots. I then stamped the bow onto a piece of Riding Hood Red and cut that out.
I used my snowflake embossing folder and the Cuttlebug Smoosh technique for the background image. I then went around the edges with Going Gray ink to create more contrast.

I love your beautiful cuttlebugged bg and the owl is so cute. Thanks for playing and thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers. At my house in Sugar Land we are still without electricity but I'm staying in victoria with my parents and sister so I am not suffering too badly and I have my laptop to console me.
