Snowy owl photo Christmas card

This is another photo Christmas card but this time it is a beautiful snowy owl called Sweeney Todd.  The photograph was taken by John Harper who very kindly gave me permission to use it for this card.  The original  photograph’s colours are far better than the colours you see here  as my printer has altered them and my photograph of the card has also altered them slightly.  Sweeney Todd lives at The Hawk Conservancy Trust  (please respect the copyright on their photographs).
It is a very similar design to the moose card but with the addition of some white and silver sparkle ribbon down the left hand side and silver mirri card.

Moose photo Christmas card

I have been asked recently to make a few  birthday cards and Christmas cards for a good friend of mind and they each were created with a particular theme in mind.  This one is a Christmas card with a Canadian wildlife theme.  I had nothing in my crafty stash that would do so Glenda Sykes very kindly gave me permission to use this photo from her website.  I don’t actually know the photographer’s name but thank you – it is a lovely photo.
The edges are embossed in silver and the layers are white card, dark silver card, more white card with silver angel hair mesh with silver brads, then the photo edged in silver.
