We returned a couple of days ago from a break in our caravan in North Devon. It's been unusually hot here in the UK for the last week or so and Tuesday was the hottest day on record. It was a welcome relief to have heavy rain here today.
I used a sketch over on the Creative Minds - Kind Hearts Facebook page for the design of my card.
The patterned paper is from an old Papermania paper pad and I used a Creative Expressions 'Linear Leaves' for the layer at the back. The owl is a Cottage Cutz die and I added some eyes to bring him to life. The sentiment is a Happy Little Stampers stamp.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
As You Like It Challenge ~ Favourite Fur, Feathers or Scales (I love owls and can never resist buying owl dies and stamps.)
My second card is a fairly CAS card.
The image is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Beauty Abounds' set, stamped on the separate white panels and layered on yellow mats. I coloured the images with Promarkers. The sentiment is stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Best Year' set, raised up on foam pads.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:

ReplyDeleteCute owl and I like the effect of the jaunty angle of the leafy layer. Delicate effect on the second pretty card

ReplyDeleteYour little owl is gorgeous Liz and most welcome at AYLI for our Feathers, Scales or Fur Challenge. Love the yellow on that triple panel design too, such a lovely summery colour.

That owl is so cute Liz and the triple layer background with the leaves and dots patterned papers and the embossed leaves behind those go beautifully, and the triple panel of flowers so prettily coloured are perfect for this CAS card. x
ReplyDeleteYour owl is wonderful, love the papers and design with him Liz. Your floral is beautiful and very elegant too.
