Christmas Distress

When it comes to stamping I love owls so when I received by Owl Punch by Stampin' Up! you can image how excited I was.  I dressed him up with Christmas colours - isn't he cute!  I also used the Scallop Trim Border, Modern Label and the Scallop Punch to make this card.  I inked the circle scallop with Chocolate Chip ink and using my paper-piercing tool to punch holes around the scallop.  For the label I used a sponge with  Real Red, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight inks giving the label a distressed look, then I used Chocolate Chip to stamped Merry Christmas from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set.  When stamping my image onto green card stock, I used the retired Handsome Hunter ink pad which gave me the affect I was looking for.  Then it was a matter of putting the whole thing together with double sided tape and 3D foam.
