Sweet Sunday Owls

I knew there was something special about Courtney's trigger the moment I saw it. But when I wanted to make a card for Tuesday Trigger, I had to think for a little while and deal with the fact that there was not a red-related color in it :-) 

I went ahead and took my chances in making a Christmas card, although the colors didn't speak Christmas at all at the beginning. I was really glad I did it, because the color combination looks good! 

I also dusted my Making Memories {Pewter} hybrid ink, that was the perfect gray/metallic color for my card.

I finally got myself an embossing heat gun. I had the powder, had the embossing pad, but no heat gun...what kind of deal was that?! :-) So I did some clear embossing, too. 

The sketch from Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch #41 was a tremendous help in putting everything together.
