Almost time for good St. Nick!
When we did our bird challenge at CAS Christmas, I loved this card by Emilia.
That sent me on a search for the stamp and I was lucky enough to find it on Ebay
for a decent price.
One of our daughter's family likes owls.
I'm not sure of the significance for them, but since there are three of them,
I thought a Christmas card with three of the owls would please them.
It took more than one try, but I was able to mask off two of the owls
to get just the three.
It was fun watercoloring with Zigs and my water brush.
I did a few splatters with diluted white paint, but I chickened out
before I got too many. I didn't want a big splat to land on there.
I added a few sparkly snowflakes from my box.
I hope they like it.
Adding this to AAA Cards Game #130

Adorable trio of owls, Bonnie! Fantastic masking job... just thought it was the original image had I not checked out the link and read your post. Beautiful watercolouring. I splatter sparingly too because I get lines instead of splats after a while... really weird.
Happy Christmas Eve! xx
This is so sweet with their stockings hung below. The owl lover will enjoy this so much.
Oh so CUTE and colored just beautifully Bonnie! I'm sure this sweet card will be loved!! :0)

Happy Christmas and New Year.

Such an adorable image and beautifully coloured. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards.
Sweet! I love this image and bought it a while back but unfortunately, never had time to ink it up this year. I love how you've customized the card to reflect the number of people in the family. And your watercolouring is just amazing! xx
What a fabulous job watercoloring these cute owls, Bonnie! Love this! Here it is Christmas Eve day and I'm hunting this stamp (grin). Merry Christmas, Bonnie!
Love your card with those cute owls. Great coloring also. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Too funny, Bonnie - I just made a card with that exact same stamp!! Will blog it shortly!
I love yours with the trimmed image, the soft blue shading around the owls, and the great layout. Perfect embellishing with the sparkly snowflakes too!
Beautiful coloring and card design Bonnie. Best of the holidays.

Bonnie, great adaption of the stamp. I love the persona touch and wonderful colouring. Merry Christmas Christine
Adorable owls and fantastic job of masking them, Bonnie! You did so well that I went back to see the original image (yes, there are 4 of them). Your daughter's family is going to love the card.
I always get nervous when I spatter... I wish there were erasable paints like those pens! ;-)

What an adorable stamped image and such pretty colouring. Great masking and always great to find crafty goodies on E bay x.
Such a fun card! Darling image beautifully colored and featured. Thanks for sharing the details.
How fun! Such great images, and your card is wonderful!
What sweet little owls beautifully coloured Bonnie, and no wonder you wanted this image. I love that you managed to mask off one of the owls to leave just the three and the pretty glittery snowflakes and and sentiment finish it perfectly. x
Your daughter's family isn't the only owl lover, Bonnie. I got a darling one for Christmas. Your card is so cute and perfect for a family of three.
It's such a small card. You have beautifully added colors using ZIG. I love delicate background coloring and beautiful strong colors of birds.
Hugs,

I just want to fill the stockings to these cuties. All cuddled up, they fit the sentiment perfectly. Beautiful watercolouring xx
I adore this card and I have to ask "Who doesn't love owls - not only are they fascinating but beautiful too. I do love owls!
