Owl CCC

   Hi Everyone, my DT cards today is for -

Critter Crazy

 Anything Goes but they MUST feature a critter as the main focus 

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.

     Hi Everyone, I have 2 DT cards today, this is for -

our new named blog
 

Critter Crazy

although the rules are slightly different, we still have the same challenge

Anything Goes but they MUST feature a critter as the main focus

Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 

Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter...

This card was made with one of those wild moments of memory of something different? Well I used them in this card and today's. I wanted something very simple for my card class, some of whom have mental health problems and thought it would tie in with my DT post today.

Anyhow, I cut the free file, I have had it from 2011, with my die cutting machine. It consists of a scallop shape for the body,  a head and pants/legs. I decided to use makeup remover pads, to make a "wooly" sheep. 

The parts were cut from white and black card and the ear inserts from pink card. I got my class to put it all together, starting with splitting the pad in half and attaching it to the scalloped white base, for the body. Then putting everything else together, with wobbly eyes added last. I'm happy to say they loved it.

I also computer generated the sentiment and had them add it to a black base. It took a while to cut them for 12, I never know how many are going to attend, so always prepare 12, this card was eventually made by 6. I'm sure the other 6 will come in handy in a few weeks for other newbies to the class?

sentiment - computer generated

On the same day, I also got them to do this, and as it's an animal, I thought I may add it here. Again all pieces cut out on my Cameo, to let everyone be able to just put it together, another easy make for them also.
