This owl die by Ultimate Crafts, is a very detailed one, but I wanted an image that was more solid. So instead of popping all the cuts out of the owl, I used tape on the back to hold them in place before I removed it from the actual die. That way I have all the cut marks, but as a solid shape. The next time, I think I'll use an embossing mat and just cut around the outside lines, which should be easier.
The NOEL sentiment was made with letters from a Spellbinders set by Becca Feeken, and the fancy oval frame is also from the Ultimate Crafts framed owl die. I added die cut holly by Spellbinders, with holly berries by Lil' Inkers. I also inked the center of the oval, while it was still in the die. This is something I need to remember to do more often because it's an easy way to add color without bulk.

A lovely card. I like how the die cut oval border intricacy matches that of the owl. I also like how you have used the two shades of complimentary blues. Thanks for playing along with Christmas Craft Creations. X
