It's been a busy month but I have managed to have a couple of card making sessions. I was dying to try out the Clearly Besotted 'Still a Hoot' Owl stamp set....
I coloured the owls using Spectrum Noir Markers, which I am still getting to grips with. I do love how the eyes turned out, used darker shade near centre and blended it out with the lighter shade. I found if you use a good 3/4 shades difference the results are better. Added some Wink of Stella to the eyes and finished off with Glossy Accents on the scarfs and eyes.
The bottom card in the pic is for a Harry Potter Fan, hence the themed scarf colours. I am happy with how they turned out and totally adore this stamp set! Looking forward to creating some Christmas themes with them.
Another set of stamps I have been using a lot lately are the Avery Elle 'Whale Hello'. I made some simple note card sets using paper from the First Edition 'Sail Away' 6X6 paper pack. Simple yet cute designs. Again the Images were coloured using Spectrum Noir Markers.
I also used the same stamp set to attempt a nautical themed shaker card. The sentiment was heat embossed with gold embossing powder and the orange rope frame was taken and fussy cut from the cover of the First Edition 'Sail Away' paper pack! I am so so happy with how it turned out. Looking forward to making a lot more shaker cards in the future.
