Hey everyone!
I'm sharing a card over on the Jane's Doodles blog this week.
I love mixing and matching my sets, and I've got a little bit of Wise Owl, Doodle Flowers II, Read All About it, and Spring on this one.
I knew I wanted to piece the owl, and I used a couple of patterns from MME's Now & Then Milo 6x6 pad. I also added some extra shading with Spectrum Noir markers. The chest feathers were done in four layers and adhered directly on top of one another. The wings and base of the head were popped up with foam tape, and the very top of the head (with the eyes) has a layer of Power Tabs in there. I like that those give you some dimension, but not a ton.
I wanted to warm up the background a bit, so I stamped a few of the vine/leaf images in soft yellow, but then I thought it was a little too subtle, so I went back in with a very thin journaling pen and added some doodles around them for emphasis.
A few strips of cardstock, a little stitching and a fussy cut speech bubble sentiment finished it off.
Hope you have a great end to your week. Tomorrow is World Card Making Day, and you definitely want to stop by because there are some big goings on here! Can't wait! See you tomorrow!
