a little owl book mark

Hiya guys well i must be honest i really struggled with this one but i think i've cracked it. I decided to make myself a bookmark, (i normally use a piece of paper) this is so much nicer.

I printed off the owl digi stamps and coloured them with my pro markers one in each of the 3 colours of the challenge this week the background paper you can just about see are also from the woodland whimsies cd, i also tryed deb's tip of using the blender pen to create an effect of feathers(thanks deb x) that's it for now don't forget to check my blog to see if you won a prize from the weekend blog bop.

Challenge 1 - Owl Card

well as this was my challenge and these are my favourite colours currently (apart from Purple which is my constant favourite colour) I found this to be a fun challenge - probably because I already had something in mind!

So here is my card....

I've used the cream Honeycomb paper from Woodland Whimsies 2 which I've distressed with olive green ink, the Owls are my Digi Stamps which I coloured with Promarkers in the ice grey shades using the blender pen to add texture (thanks for the tip Debs!) and the gold for the beak and claws (are they claws? I'm not too good at animal stuff, I told my little sisters that some goats were sheep once, my mum was NOT pleased - I'll probably get told off for this if I'm wrong too! LOL)

The button was punched out using my 1.5" circle punch (from the Butterfly collection on Woodland Whimsies) and added glossy accents for some dimension - the greeting is also from Woodland Whimsies. I made my own card blank from Prism cardstock in one of my fave shades.

Blog Hop winners will be posted tomorrow - woo!
