Here is my card for you:
The dies I used are called Magnificent Christmas (but I left out the Santa hats), by Yvonne Creations. The owls and branches are cut from snippets, of course, and the border is a scrap left from a sheet of 12 x 12 that has made numerous cards. It had a scallop border all the way round, so I cut a strip with border and background from one side and then added a strip from another edge of the sheet. Instead of backing the owls in another colour or piecing in the breasts and beaks, I coloured them in with fine markers. The sentiment is stamped using the very useful set that comes with the current issue of Making Cards magazine.
I hope to get round and visit lots of your entries - there is still plenty time to join in here and I must warn you that as long as I'm wearing my Visitor's Badge there is to be no running in the corridors! So why not have a rummage round among all your snippets, trimmings and offcuts and see just what you can create from them?

Well hello Jane! Parsnip is actually pretty cool about you being a 'Parsnip's Prefect' - he knows his limitations! :)
Thanks so much again for agreeing to be my first GD!

Such a cute "English Owl" card! :) How clever of you to add the other scalloped piece to that pretty border...which features yet another species of English Owl. lol... Using a marker to fill in the details on the little hoots was a great idea. Thank you for sharing your wonderful card over at the Playground!
