I have a personal goal of making 4 Christmas cards a month, so I combined that with my card this week for the USEIT2015 challenge. This month I am making a card a week with previously un-inked Purple Onion stamps!
OK, so there are not 4 here. I mis-stamped one, and since I already have a couple of Christmas cards in hand I didn't bother cutting up another sheet of kraft. 3 cards will do.
Images stamped on kraft with Sepia and embossed with clear EP. I used white re-inker for the snow, and coloured the owls with Couleur d'Art pencils. I added a star cut from matt metallic gold card, matted the image panels on white, stamped some snow, and then layered them onto a kraft base.

Oh these owls are so cute. So glad they finally saw some ink. I need to get on the ball with more Christmas cards I am already behind. I am also trying to use up some old stamps that have never seen ink. It is such a shame sure cute images don't get used so I have joined that link too after seeing you join. Thanks for the push. I so look forward to seeing the darling images that everyone has stashed away. These for sure needed to see ink, they are so adorable and look great on your card.

That is the perfect Christmas and winter card!! That owl looks so thin and pitiful that I just want to bring him inside! The snow looks so realistic! Great card!!
