Chocolate Baroque challenge- card 2

Hello again.

Chocolate Baroque challenge , card 2.

I decided to enter a second card this month as I have also been  "playing" with an owl border stamp that I bought recently. Couldn't resist this one!!

 

It is great for masking and using as a background , as I have done, and the individual owls can be cut out easily.

I think this will make a good autumn birthday card, and the leaves that have been falling rapidly from a tree in my garden, work perfectly with the colour scheme.

 

 

 

 

Thought I'd also show you another card that I have made with them.

Much simpler design, quick and easy.

 

 

 

 

I've already got another couple of ideas buzzing around in my head for other cards.

I really like it when a stamp inspires, like this one, and is easy to use.

 

Mind you, anything with an owl on is automatically on my "must have" list!!! 

Thank you for visiting again.

Bye for now.

Chocolate Baroque challenge 15

Hello to anyone reading my blog.


I have been having fun with this months colour challenge on Chocolate Baroque site, as I really like these colours together.

 

 

 

 

They remind me of a winter sunset and as I was driving out this evening the sky looked magnificent with streaks of yellow and grey.

I have just received my new edge stamps and they are gorgeous.
The sample below uses one of them with another stamp I already had, and I am entering this card into the Chocolate Baroque challenge this month.

 

 

                 I  have used one of the borders from Exquisite edges with Garden lace scene.

Thanks for looking.

Owls

Hello to anyone reading this and thank you for visiting.

Today, I have been playing with owls again.
It seems to have been a long time since I've done this.

I have many owl stamps as I have mentioned before, but I recently purchased a Lindsay Mason stamp  called Zendoodle Big Owl Ready to Go, which I really like.

It's a lovely stamp in it's own right, on the left of the picture below, but I was really pleased to see that it fitted beautifully on the Artcuts owl shape too, on the right of the picture.

 

 

On the sample above, I have stamped and heat embossed onto black and then coloured with pearlescent powders. This is a technique I often use as I like the effect.

On this one, I have heat embossed the image onto the wood and then it has also been coloured with pearlescent powders. Tiny hearts have been stuck on for the wings.

The embossing folder behind is an old Cuttlebug folder which I have had for years and it is so useful as a background for all my owl stamps.

Thank you for visiting and I hope your day is as beautiful as it is here.

Bye for now.

One owl stamp, three designs

A favourite owl stamp

Hello everyone.


I make no apologies that on the samples I have posted today, I have used one of my favourite owl stamps that I have had for years.
 It is an old Santa Rosa stamp but I think the image is beautiful.
Below are three designs that I have done recently.
Hope you like them.

 

 

The image is just stamped and embossed and the background inked lightly.

 

I have used this stamp so many times but still think it's great.

It  has been brilliant for male and female cards, as well as Christmas cards.

 

Thank you for looking.
