Today's card is the one I made for my wonderful husband, Darren.
The stamp is the absolutely gorgeous Moonlit Owls by Lili of the Valley - I adore it! I stamped the image with black Versafine and embossed it with clear detail powder. I coloured the image with my Promarkers. You can't see it very well but the sky is dotted with white Posca pen for snow. I used Memory Box Holly Die for the holly at the end of the branch on the main image and at each end of the sentiment. The sentiment is from a Casual Friday's snowflake stamp set and is also stamped in black Versafine and embossed with clear detail powder and die cut with a die from Elizabeth Crafts Stitch Fishtail Banners set. The circle die used is Spellbinders and is either small or medium set but I am not sure which. The scallop circle is Spellbinders too and is from the small set. The snowflakes are cut using Tim Holtz Sizzix Mini Paper Snowflakes die set. All these die cuts are cut using snippets of card and my Big Shot. The background is embossed using a snow embossing folder - I cannot remember the make, sorry! I added lots of glitter, mostly glamour dust, apart from red on the berries. I can never get the sparkle to show in my photographs! I am pleased to say, Darren really likes his card! Yay!
