My Guest Designer Card for Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge

THE STUDIO...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.

    This is wonderful. I love the frantage and the gold rubbed corrugated. I must try to remember to gild mine too!
    I love the look of frantage yet always seem to forgt to use mine...

    Love your fabulous card. The Owl is cute with his head twisted like that and the corrugated and cheesecloth look great!

    Thanks for the suggestion to pop over and link my card...I did just that very thing!
