- A6 tent style white card blank, right hand bottom corner rounded using We Are Memory Keepers Corner Chomper
- backing paper from Papermania's Capsule Collection 'Aqua' paper pack, cut to size and the corner rounded to match the card blank
- the image was a pre-printed oval from Craftwork Cards which I coloured with TH Distress Markers. The image is on pearlised card which meant that the distress markers sort of 'ran' a bit but I quite like the sort of 'accidental cloisonné' effect :)
- then the image was just layered onto an oval of white card, die cut using a Spellbinders 'Floral Oval' die
- the sentiment is a discontinued Elzybells sentiment, stamped using Memento 'Tuxedo Black' ink and punched with SU's 'Modern Label' punch
- a couple of black Josy Rose nail heads to finish
Isn't hindsight wonderful, I discovered Elzybells not long before they had their massive closing down sale but only bought one of everything I could lay my greedy little paws on. Just think of the Playground prizes we could have had - sigh :(

Well I completely missed the closing down sale so I was worse than you. I love your little owl card. Sorry to have got you involved in the craft declutter group - beware it's addictive.

PS you remember what I said about going on to my post yesterday and not dropping lappie? Same goes for a certain Miss Darnell's post today! Shocker!!!
I love little owls! Just leaving a quick hello from Twiglet and Wipso as Annie hasn't any broadband in her new home yet!!
ReplyDeleteHow could anyone not like owls??? Fabulous card! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit last week, Di, and sorry it has take me so long to get back to you. I foolishly said to my two children that I wanted the garage cleared out before the winter set in - as in emptied of the totaly rubbish that has been dumped in there. As I pointed out to them, they will have to do the job at some point so they have dived in and decided to organise me totally. I am now trying to work out how to move them around the place doing what I wan not what they want. Hope you enjoyed Barbara's shows last week. Did you succumb? Have a good week. xx Maggie

ReplyDeleteA really gorgeous card, I love the die you put the owl onto Karen x
Oh, love this card!!!!

Lovely card Di! I missed the first few days of my local craft shop retirement sale - everything half price. But I did manage to buy some new stamps - I just need to find time to use them!

I adore this cloisonne effect, Di! The match with the (perfect) script background is awesome!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThe cute winking owl on the decorative die looks simply amazing on that script background! Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteLove the coloring of the image! Such a perfect match with the backing paper!
ReplyDeleteThis owl is really cute Di, and I love the fact that you have used just two or three colours which keeps it simple but is very effective. I love that floral oval die too, which is so pretty. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! Love the die cut and paper! Fab design!
