Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 370

Welcome to Tuesday Throwdown Challenge!  This week's theme is "Ribbon and Lace" and is sponsored by Kitty Bee Designs.  I was so delighted to work with one of their images....please do check out their website!!  I used this sweet "Santa Owl" image and colored it with Copic markers.  I embossed the red cardstock with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and glued down 2 pieces of white lace. I layered a piece of patterned paper on black cardstock and tied a piece of green ribbon around it. I mounted the owl image on a black scalloped circle and added 3 red rhinestones for the berries and some sparkle pen on the brim of the hat.  I popped up a "Merry Christmas" sentiment in the lower corner.

I'm so happy you stopped by - I hope you'll join our "Ribbon and Lace" challenge this week.  If I don't see you before.....have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Thank you for supporting Tuesday Throwdown Challenges throughout this year!!
