Owls and Reindeers..it's a Critter Friday!!

Good morning!!! I had a great afternoon yesterday...finally got caught up on some of my favorite challenges!!! My first card features the sketch from Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge (MTSC99) and the colors are for Mona's CR84FN3 Color Challenge to use pink and green.
The adorable little owls were made with the Stampin Up! owl punch...I just loooove that punch!!!! The background paper is from Heidi Grace Designs and I used scraps for the owls. The cardstock is Papertrey's Lavender Moon (it is a blue tinted pink) and the sentiment is from Penny Black. The rhinestones, sewing, and the button with the ribbon bow finish it off.
This is for the Color Throwdown #118 to use Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, and Kraft. I didn't have Cherry Cobbler so I used Riding Hood Red. The deer image from Taylored Expressions Sparkle and Cheer was stamped with Soft Suede and the snowflakes from TE's Winter Wonderland were stamped with Riding Hood Red. The edge was scalloped using an EK success scalloped border punch and the gold pearls and ribbon were added for a little glam.

I may use this design for my Christmas Cards except I'll have to use gold glitter stickers and a flat ribbon without a bow so they can be mailed without extra postage!!

Have a great day and I hope it includes a little stamping!!!

Beautiful cards, Joan! Your owl friends are so adorable. That punch really grows on you! It's so fun to play with those little critters. And your reindeer card is gorgeous! Love that beautiful bow. Too bad they cause extra postage.
Hugs,

p.s. I highly recommend the Cherry Cobbler. Once you use it, you won't want to use any other red! :D

How adorable your pink and lime owls are. Fun patterned paper too.

Love the dashing reindeer. Very warm and elegant but at the same time, rustic. Nice.
