It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! This week, the talented Jaydee has provided us with a fun sketch, just perfect for showing off your favorite designer paper. As for me, I went with a elegant pattern from Stampin’ Up!’s Joyous Noel collection. I hope you enjoy today’s elegant holiday card and FREE tutorial!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
The owl and branch took center stage on today’s card. Die cut from Copper Foil, the detailed owl was adhered to Whisper White cardstock, and then trimmed. He perches on a Copper Foil branch, against a backdrop of Gray Granite. Rhinestone eyes are the perfect touch!
The sentiment was stamped in Soft Suede. The Night Owl Thinlits collection contains the perfect die for cutting it out. For contrast, I punched out two 1″ circles from Copper Foil, and used them as accents.
Because of the gorgeous paper and beautiful die cuts, I decided to keep things relatively simple. The only embellishments are two rhinestone eyes.

This is absolutely stunning! Wonderful! Thanks for sharing this.
Oh Ann, only you could make this owl look so fabulously elegant! To think I almost talked myself out of ordering this set. Love all of the copper and the rhinestones are a fabulous touch, as always. I didn’t get a chance to tell you last week but I’m thrilled to be back at The Paper Players with you, my friend. Hugs!
Oh Ann, this is GORGEOUS! I love your DSP and the copper looks amazing with it! That owl is so beautiful and just pops off the card! You certainly rocked this challenge! Have a fantastic weekend! XX
I adore those papers Ann and all of the fabulous copper foil; I never would have thought you could put something on top and it not get lost, but the white owl works beautifully – as if he as meant to be there all along!
Ann, I love the owl – but the copper is genius with the grey. Gorgeous card and a fabulous use of the sketch. Thanks for rocking my challenge this week

Elegant it is!
That copper foil is just stunning..I love how you showcased it here. Gorgeous!!!
Wow Ann, this is stunning! I love all that beautiful shiny copper foil, and the owl looks great with his little rhinestone eyes!
It is utterly gorgeous and utterly elegant. That wonderful paper shouts elegance the moment you pick it up out of the packaging but the way you’ve paired it up with that owl – superb!
I have to admit that I glossed over this owl in the catalog but seeing it IRL, on a card as stunning as this, makes me want to re-think him! I love how you’ve backed him with white…. makes for a very elegant little owl!
Gorgeous!!!!!
Ann,
All I can says is…. Wowzer!!!! this is fabulous! I love the use of the copper for the branch, and owl details, and the background DSP addition looks terrific together! You will make everyone buy that owl!
