Owl be making cards!

Welcome to my blog on this special day

of card making.

Of course I had to have something here to share with you.

After a week of making coffee cards, I had to set my mind

to something else. I found a great challenge on the

Create with TLC Blog

There was this owl image as a FREEBIE.

You can grab it too, it is

HERE.

Now there is a catch to it:

if you use it on a card and link it up to

the post on Create with TLC you rceive another

freebie in your email and..........

your card willalsobe entered in a drawing for

a $ 10,- certificae in the CTlc store!

For the background see below.

The image is coloredwit pencil and I used

the woodgrain stencil to make the background

to the image.

I made these backgrounds with alcohol ink.

You put a few drops of ink on your craft sheet

and add a few drops of alcohol blending solutions too.

Then with glossy paper you pickup these colors and 

have a beautiful coloredbackground.

The twopapers on the left i run through the big shot with

an embossing folder with a tree image.

For the right paper I took a stencil and added

some texture paste on top, let it air dry and

colored it with expresso ground distress ink.

So with the first image,my theme was set: owls!

this card is made with the owl stamp

by Michael Strong. The sentiment is from Club Scrap

It's a Hoot kit. The owl is stamped on some

paper I had lying around and embossed with silver. 

Little yellow gemstones for the eyes. The tree

branch is  a die by Tim Holtz.

And the last card, is my first Christmas card for this year.

I found this cute owl set on Create with TLC and just had to have it!

The image is colored with distress markers.

You find it HERE.

Have a creative day!
