Owl-o-wicious

Right now owls seem to be the “IT thing” in paper crafts. Surprisingly I love all the new owl sets from just about every company and want them ALL. I thought this owl was really fun. I’ve also been working on some really fun die-cut owls from QuicKutz that i plan on photographing tomorrow and posting soon.

I’ve also been playing around with the new SEI Poppy paper which has some of the neatest color combinations.

I used paper piercing along the edges of the flourishes. I also used Colored pencils and odorless mineral spirits to blend the colors on the owl. Click on the link to learn how this technique works.

Green, Yellow, and Pink!!!

I really love green, yellow, and pink colors of this card.  Plus, kraft paper again!!! This card has a very “back to school” feel to me.

So far I am leaving this card blank until I decide what type of sentiment I’ll use.  I often leave cards blank so that I can “update” with an appropriate sentiment before sending it off.

For this card I used yellow embroidery floss to “stitch” the buttons together and then affixed the buttons with glue dots.
