Tonight I'd like to show you shaun's card that I made for him - virtually all the stuff used on the card was from That Craft Place.
I started to make this card by creating the background - the cloud stamp is be Ditzie Designs which is the own brand at That Craft Place. I stamped this with versa and added white wow powders before heat setting. I then made up the background using the ombre technique as featured in the current craft stamper magazine. I used chipped sapphire, faded jeans and tumbled glass DI. Next I did more background stamping using a script stamp and a stamp from the sam poole steampunk christmas stamp set. Then I made the owls - using the sam poole wise friend stamp set - one was stamped onto a sheaf of paper that was like treebark - it may actually have been treebark. The second owl was stamped on the back of a brown envelope. Both were decoupaged up. I also stamped the leaves from the same stamp set then put the card together. The piece of wood came as part of my DT pack - as did the tree bark. Finally I added the hats to the owls and the sentiment. The hats came from a stamp set by Imagination Crafts.
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Just love the owls with their Santa hats Rachel. I'm sure Shaun will love it. We were quite lucky with regards to the wind, although windy and rainy it wasn't as bad as elsewhere in the country. All is calm here at the moment but we have had a few flakes of snow ! Is this the calm before the storm I wonder !!! Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. Enjoy you carol singing. Hugs Jennifer xx
ReplyDeleteSuch fun owls, great card! Hope the cake tastes as good as it looks!
ReplyDeleteThose owls are such fun, wonderful card Rachel.
ReplyDeleteWe also had gale force winds and rain battering against the window all through the night, continuing into today, in fact the wind is howling as I type.
Hope all goes well for you tonight.
Festive Wishes
Lynne

I have to admit until I read what you used to stamp the owls I assumed they were wooden embellishments - the effect you got with these is brilliant, I want to reach out and stroke them, if Shaun doesn't like this card send it to me because, once again, love it! Beautiful work huni xx
