Owls in a Tree

Posted on April 24, 2014 10:07 AM by Julie 1 Comment

Today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT476) is Trees, since today is Arbor Day. So for my card, I have a cute pair of owls in a tree. My card is pretty simple…I started with a kraft panel, die cut a circle out and embossed it with a fine woodgrain pattern. I added two die cut chocolate brown rings around the circle. One little owl was stamped on a larger white piece & colored with Copics. I decided he needed a friend so I stamped, colored and cut out another little owl and added them both inside the circle. After I added the greeting flag, it looked sort of bare so I die cut some leaves in 2 colors of green and added them

What a super color combo for today’s Color Challenge (CC475) on Splitcoast! Love these bright, high contrast colors! The red & orange remind me of poppies, so that’s the direction I went. I spent most of my time fiddling with background…the rest was quick & easy.

On the background, I started by using a large water color brush and a couple of red & orange reinkers. I also splattered a bit using the brush. Then I took a couple of stencils and sponged on some real red thru the stencils. I die cut the poppies & the little squares out of this. The greeting was stamped in a combo of the two blue inks. I don’t have any little enamel dots, but I did find these sort of metallic ones. They weren’t quite blue enough, so I added a little more blue w/ a Copic marker.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Lavender

A couple of fun challenges today on Splitcoast! I love the CAS (CAS269) color inspiration picture & though I have a few layers, it really is CAS. I did have a couple of false starts with this one & the original plan was a tad simpler, but it is what it is. And I had fun trying the ribbon flower for the TLC challenge (TLC478).

I inked the lavender image w/ elderberry & n. pine ink and stamped it on w/c paper. I added just a touch of color, very quickly, then die cut it. The other layers were also die cut, so I didn’t even have to think about it. On the rectangle I did do some piercing & the word “lavender” was stamped down one side. The sheer ribbon was white & I tinted it w/ a rose quartz Copic marker.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
