Greetings! Today I have for you my second installment as a Smeared and Smudged Design Team Member. This card is a little bit Winter, a little bit mysterious, and has a little bit of magic in it. 
I love this owl stamp from Inkadinkado. It’s got so much going on… the owl has a certain quiet power. And the swirling snowflakes remind me of something out of Narnia. Then there’s the sentiment. Also powerful in my world. And quite beautiful. It’s also from Inkadinkado. I used platinum embossing powder for both.
See the shine? If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you’ll also see that I used a couple of spritzes of Black Gold Glimmer Mist. In addition, I added a couple of gems from JoAnns, and a tag from Basic Grey. The cardstock is from Prism. 
Isn’t he majestic? He also reminds me very much of the movie Labyrinth. Which, now I am totally in the mood to watch those 2 flicks!!! So, that’s my card. Quiet, simple, and strong. Pure magic!
I always get a weird feeling when I see an owl. I don't know why but I do. I remember when I was in highschool I was driving home late one night and there was an owl sitting on the bridge. It did not move as I passed by it. Totally freaked me out because the owl was the size of a small child and I thought it was going to attack the car! I still get chills when I think about it!
You have the most amazing style! Your are a creative genius! This is an awesome card. The gold embossing does so much for this card. WOW!
I love it! Owls are so cool, and I've always been obsessed with the moon, so, this is awesome!:)
