So sorry I am late with my Christmas card. I actually worked on it last night (the 25
th) rather than posting it the 25
th. So here is my latest creation.

I used a piece of designer paper to embellish the owl's belly. I used C
opics to color, but felt the colors were really bright, so I went over my coloring with a light warm gray
Copic marker. I used the Textile embossing folder to emboss the scallop circle. I think there may have been too much pressure because just the embossing process took some of the color off the paper, leaving the white embossed areas (which I actually liked, so that was kind of cool).
I must admit, it feels like maybe something is off in this card. I just could not get the feel I was going for. Is there just too much going on? If you have any thoughts on this, please leave me a comment. I am always trying to learn the little details of good design.
Thanks for looking. Have a great Thursday!
