I was invited to be a Guest Designer over at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge this week, and I'm so glad to join the talented ladies for their bingo challenge - you can find the details here.
I love making Christmas cards and I love bingo challenges! They've got two sponsors this week, and I chose to use Otis the Owl from Oak Pond Creations for my card. I colored him with Promarkers and gave him a paper pieced hat and shoes with glitter and gold stickles details.For the background I used a DP from Maja Design and corrugated cardstock covered with Inka-Gold and frantage. The die cut snowflakes is covered with gems. I also made a scene of tress using white corrugated cardstock and vellum as well as cheesecloth for the snowy ground.
This card is also for these challenges:
1) Christmas Card Challenges - #17 Anything Goes
2) Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge - #169 All wrapped up
3) Christmas at Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog - Brr.... It's Cold outside!

If that owl doesn't put you in a good mood for Christmas I don't know what will. He's adorable! Great use of corrugated card and cheesecloth.
