The April Crafty Calendar Challenge starts today. The theme is a recipe - '1Ribbon/2 or more Designer Papers'. We have two generous sponsors this month, Oddball Art and Crafty Ribbons and this is my DT card.
I decided to make a double Z-fold card, the first time I've tried this fold. Oddball Art kindly gave us some images to work with and this is the one I chose to use. It's called 'Cute Big Eye Owl on Tree Branch' and I've coloured it with Promarkers and die cut it with a Memory Box 'Stitched Rectangle' die. The patterned papers are from a Papermania paper pad, 'Owl Folk'.
I decided not to add a sentiment, but added a white die cut rectangle inside to write the sentiment and message. I layered it on an orange mat to pick out the orange in the owls eyes. A strip of white ribbon finished off my card.
The Crafty Calendar Challenge finishes on the 28th of April. You can see more cards made for inspiration from my talented teamies HERE. Looking forward to seeing all your beautiful creations.

ReplyDeleteAwww, this card is adorable Liz! I love the owl image and I love the way you have colored him. I haven't made this style of card base either, but I sure do love them when I see them. You did a great job on yours! I love the pattern papers you used too, so beautiful and play together so well. I struggle with pattern papers. Hugs, Brenda
