Here I am back today with Part Two of my owls made with papers and CS from the good old scrap basket. I did not cut into any new sheets of paper or CS to make all the cute little owl cards. I even ended up with a Christmas version (my first Christmas card of the year!).
Materials:
Stamp: Owl from Hero Arts
Black Pigment Ink
Black Embossing Powder
Markers
Assorted DP's, CS, and ribbons
Punches and dies
Why don't we start with the Christmas version?!! I used Cosmo Cricket Paper for the background. I die cut and punched two shades of yellow and a dark green CS to make some layers for the little owl. All the Owls are stamped with black pigment ink and heat embossed with black powder.
Embellishments: The holly dimensional stickers are from K & Company; glitter dots, red ribbon. Sentiment on the outside: Victorian Originals.

This a gate fold card with gold Stickles here and there. The DP is from Stampin' Up.

And, last but not least, this small Birthday card. The bright yellow CS is dry embossed and I used some punched and die cut shapes to layer. Sentiments are from Gina K Designs.

I already sent out the Gatefold card to my friend, Jan. She loves owls, so I am pretty sure she will like this one! The Christmas card will go in the Christmas card box. Only 70 more to go. LOL.
Challenges for my scrappy Owls:
Holly Jolly Christmas: glitter--card #1 uses glitter dots
Winter wonderland: cute Christmas
Paper Take Weekly: occasions
ABC Christmas: P is for----pretty paper, a pair of pre cut holly embellishments
Divas by Design: Christmas

Now, next time for sure, I will have a finished card made with my new stamped backgrounds! Hope you are having a great day! I am off to get a mammogram today. Love ya.
