Owl CCC

   Hi Everyone, my DT cards today is for -

Critter Crazy

Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 
Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter...

Going through my animal stamps and dies, I saw this owl and decided to use him again, I used him here

I used an embossing a wood folder for the background, I then cut the oval. The background was inked to show the design. I then die cut and embossed an owl out of brown card, which has gold sparkles going through it, shame the photo didn't pick it up. I highlighted the face and front feathers with white, then inked over the owl to dim the bright white pen.  

I placed a piece of card behind the eyes and added a black gem to each eye. He was placed behind the oval and attached with his feet to the front layer. I then attached the embossed front layer to the background card, I pulled the ears out and added a 3D pad behind his head after attaching the body to the same card, next I raised the feathers on the chest.

I stamped the sentiment, with the same ink that had been rubbed over the wood embossing and fussy cut it. Two feathers were also stamped and added to the sentiment. I didn't intend for this to be monochrome, but it worked out OK, I think.

  23. This owl looks great peering out of the hole in the tree Faith, and a sweet added feather with a fun sentiment too. I think my feathers were definitely ruffled as I got so behind with everything during December that I didn't post anything and didn't get to visit you either which was bad of me, but hope you had a lovely Christmas and wishing you a very Happy New Year. I have looked back at your beautiful cards and I will definitely do my best to visit you more frequently and would just like to thank you for all the visits you make to my blog which I really do appreciate. x
