Come on over and play along in our challenge and you could also receive this set of The Great Horned Owl images from Donna. The challenge is always Anything Goes and all you have to do is have some type of critter on your card or project.
I did something a little different for my hooter card today ---- Distressed. EEK! I haven't done that in several years I'm sure but this little guy just called for it somehow. I used the pre-colored version because Donna had done such a great job of coloring him and I wanted to show that off. I used some Very Vanilla card stock from Stampin' Up (not sure they even have that anymore) and some patterned papers from CTMH. I love using the CTMH papers for distressing since it's white core. This paper is also very old like the SU card stock. I cut the owl out with a MFT stitched oval and added some distress ink and twine.
Thanks for stopping by..........and come on over and join in on the challenge.

Wow, Donna is so talented, Lynn. This owl look very deep and seems to be in a super thinking mood, though. Lol.
ReplyDeleteThe sponging gives it much character and it looks even more profound.
The papers match perfectly as does the twine.
Love,

THis is a distressed beauty Lynn! WOW, that owl is awesome and I love what you've created here with him! Those papers look fabulous with all the distressed edges!
ReplyDeleteWow Lynn! I think your call on distressing in both ink and papers was a very brilliant idea for your design here! I just love it! I love that double stitch oval you've cut him out with too! Fabulous card!!
ReplyDeleteThe distressing was a great decision, Lynn, and it's great to see it in use again. Love the twine and the sponging around the owl! Fab paper choices.
ReplyDeleteStunning card Lynn, I love this owl and your wonderful design.
