HUGE thanks to Sabrina for the stamps and taking the photo and uploading it for me - I'd the card in the post before I thought of it! And it qualifies for two Ways to Use it challenges: WT511 (Thank you) and WT512 (Something new - the stamps).
As soon as I'd seen the stamps, I knew what I wanted to do. That was the easy bit! Two stamping attempts before I managed it (I let the smudge near the greeting slide, shamefully, as I it happened so near the end... The dotty background is an attempt to disguise it). I masked the owl before stamping the tree - masking is never as tricky as I think it's going to be but watercolouring is always MORE tricky than I think it's going to be!! Had to go over it three times as it just seemed to vanish into the card.
I added Stickles and Liquid Pearls to the decorations on the tree - the Liquid Pearls reminded me of the Santa hat charm I've had forever, I just snipped off the hanging loop. I used Glossy Accents on the eyes.
The "thank" is from an Elzybells set and I used a matching alphabet set to create the "whoo".

This is just totally delightful! That Santa hat is sweet on the owl, and while it adds a very seasonal touch, this one will be on the mantelpiece till my birthday, probably . Love the snow on the button!

OWL-ways know that "smudges" are excuses for adding other things - like "embellishments", on your card!!! Delightful and fun !!!!

OMGosh, this could not be any cuter! I love the owl in his cute little Santa hat. What smudge? I count those as trademarks, lol!
