The Write Stuff

Welcome to the North Coast Creations August Release! And wow, do we have some super cute images & fabulous dies to go with them! You’re going to flip over these!

On my first card, I wanted a night time look, since owls are mostly nocturnal, so I started with a piece of textured navy card stock. The owls & branches were stamped first with Memento, colored with Copics,  over stamped with Versafine, then die cut with the matching dies. I used a series of circle dies to cut out the circle for the “moon” and the white ring around it. The moon, the Flourished Vine, Happy Birthday & largest yellow layer were sponged because I didn’t have the color of yellow I wanted.

Here’s a look at the inside & also the Copics I used.
Supplies:

Stamps: North Coast Creations – Who Loves You?

Paper:  X-Press It white, dark navy textured

Ink:  Versafine onyx, Memento tuxedo black, Kaleidacolor melon melody (yellows/oranges only)

Accessories: NCC Owl Family, Happy Birthday, Leafy Flourish dies, ODBD Flourished Star Pattern die, Copic markers, neon yellow Sharpie, Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B, circle dies, Misti

 My next card has the entire, cute as can be, owl family again. 

After stamping, coloring & die cutting as before, I thought they would look cute if I had them in their “rooms” in the trees. So I stamped the ODBD Birch Tree Bg on white, added just a hint of color, then die cut the holes & added rings around them to help set them apart. 

After adding a black layer behind the birches, I put my owls in the holes then added a finely corrugated tan layer. Three tree limbs were stamped, die cut & attached vertically. The greeting was die cut twice, stacked together for dimension and added to a tan die cut oval. 

Here’s a look at the inside & the Copics I used.
