Snowy Owl



The paper looks like falling snowflakes to me.

 Good morning! I hope you are having a blessed day!


My very serious Owl is from Serendipity Stamps. You can get him in a set with the solid background now.


 This card above is before I decided to add the Candy cane, that  Joyce was so kind to send me.
I think adds a bit of fun to this very serious wise owl. 

I seem to have a bit of a shadow on the card with the candy cane.
The card above it how the paper looks without the shadow.

What do you think... with or without the candy cane? I added a bit of glitter and  Glossy Accents to the candy cane , cut the solid owl die and glittered it up before adding the top layer with 
some foam tape. 
The other dies are from Papertrey Ink and Lil Inkers Design. The patterned paper is from amy tangerine;Cut and Paste

Thanks for stoping by.

  9. I like it with the candy cane... He's one sweet little fellow, and this card is made even more special by all your touches. Polka dots, glossy accents, stitched frames.. It all comes together perfectly. Bev

  11. I like the card made both ways...the candy cane makes it whimsical, and without it, it's elegant. Just depends in the look you want, I guess! Does that help?? LOL. :)

  17. If it's possible, he's even cuter with the candy cane!
    A beautiful die, especially with his snowy accents. Love that he's perched on a bright festive holiday cane.

  20. Wow, I love both sparkly owl cards but I think I like it with the candy cane better. I like the pop of red! Both cards are wonderful...so glad you joined us at CASology!

  21. Ack! I think I just lost my super long comment. To sum it up, I agree with everyone else and ultimately vote with the candy cane, though both cards are fantastic. The detail you put in to make this card is incredible.

  22. What a wonderful owl and gorgeous card Marybeth! I like them both - but the candy cane does add a little whimsey!!

  23. Definitely with the Candy cane!!!
    Love the patterned background/ DP!

  24. Holy smokes, this is just gorgeous, Marybeth!! Love that you did him in white, especially since your owl has a lot going on already. Great design choice. The wreath (which is sold out, darn it) is perfect for focus on him, and I do prefer Joyce's candy cane on your card. Gives him somewhere to perch, and like you said, adds a bit of fun and whimsy. Really love this one!!

  30. I liked this graceful owl either way. This is one very intricate die, and one I've not seen before. (I'm a die & EF nut). This is a beautiful card, and I liked the gleaming solid shape under the lacy owl. TFS & Hugs

    Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Hugs, Deborah x
