Hoot of the Day
Hello and thank you for visiting.
This is a card that I made recently.
I fell in love with this little fellow when I went to Loobi Crafts a few weeks ago. I just had to buy the stamps which are designed by Sam Poole for Creative Expressions.
For this card I used some card from my stash for the background, embossed it with a Crafts Too embossing folder, smeared over with Distress ink and put the raised dots on with Inkssentials enamel accents.
I stamped the owl onto Kraft card and added some darker brown with a water colour pencil and orange onto his beak. I also put some Glossy Accents on the beak.
I stamped the eyes and chest onto scraps of white and cream card, cut both out and stuck onto the owl. He is raised a little with foam pads.
I die cut a snippet of Dovecraft paper with a Spellbinders Labels Four die, stamped on the sentiment and cut the label to size. There is a little Sakura starlight yellow around the outside of his eyes but it's not shown up very well in the photo.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:-
Pixie's Snippets Playground Week 185 and
Crafting from the Heart Challenge #68

What a super card - a great image and I love the way you've used the different snippets to make him. The ribbon "branch" is a great idea too.
