Welcome to the Lawn Fawn Sneak Week! Today the Lawn Fawn Design Team is showcasing even more brand new stamps and dies!
For my card share today I combined the Deck the Halls Stamp Set with the Critters In the Arctic Stamp Set and Stitched Rectangles Lawn Cuts Dies for this holiday-themed card featuring a winter owl decked out with a winter hat hanging out in a pine tree!
This card has three layers of stitched rectangles. Have I mentioned how incredible these new dies are? I'm such a sucker for stitched layers of any kind!
On the top layer of SSS Sea Glass Cardstock I stamped images from the Lawn Fawn Deck the Halls Stamp Set along the left edge to make it appear that a pine tree hanging "inside" the frame. I used several shades of green and brown ink for a more realistic look and added red stamped holly berries to complete the tree design.
I stamped the greeting in Versamark and heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder.
I stamped the owl and hat from the Critters In the Arctic Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock and colored in the images with Copic Markers (the individual colors I used are listed and linked below in supplies). I added additional detailing to the owl with my favorite white pen.
I fussy cut the images and perched the sweet owl "in" the tree, adding some fun lidded wiggle eyes to complete the design.
Gold twine and a wood veneer star complete the card.

Every card you make with the new release I think is my favorite. Today's is my favorite. I love the penguin but this is so cute too. You do such a great job it's hard to pick just one.

Love this card! The owl is adorable, but my favorite parts are the branches, berries and pinecones :)
