OWL only have eyes for you!

CASology 174 - Owl

Meet  my card for this challenge.  I wanted to use wiggly eyes on the owls and used an appropriate sentiment that is computer generated.  On the balloons I added a small rhinestone to each for the reflection point (the white reflective mark originally used disappeared with the use of the Glossy Accents).  I mirror stamped the owls that turned out OK (not perfect ... it was a first), so I went with it.

Christmas is on its Way

Muse Challenge #143

Tracey provided a very fun card that really made me think.  Inspirations from her card that I used are:
--red and white
--reindeer (Rudolph)
--in lieu of ornament I used a balloon
--similar design ... I flipped with the balloon at upper left and sentiment on bottom right
--used gold in the stars

Rudolph is showing his best wearing a red sweater with white dots adorned with Stickles for a little sparkle and a big red enamel dot for his nose.

25 Days of Christmas Tags

This is the first year that I followed Tracey's event, and it was most inspirational with all the festive tags. For my tag, my inspiration came from Colleen's tag. My tag uses the red and white background with a snow slope, tree and snow dots.

hello

Pinterest Inspired Challenge

The inspiration for this challenge is stunning.  My interpretation includes a distress ink background, die-cut and inlaid flowers, use of gold foil for the flower centers and sentiment.  A few lilac pearl dots are added for interest.  IRL the colors are much richer. Unfortunately, the photo/lighting make the colors appear lighter.

Muse:  ChristmasVisions 29

The very talented Betty provided us with our inspirations this week.  The rich red, gold and white colors had my attention.  Also, the general layout on my card is similar. Instead of using a gold sentiment, I chose to inlay a gold foil strip between the red and white panels.  My card includes some stamped holly. For a little sparkle and interest, I added WOS to the holly berries and stars and gold dots.  For added dimension the main panel is double thickness.

Little Love Note

Muse Challenge 142

Our lovely inspiration for us this week was provided by Anita.  The elements from her card that had my attention are:
--color theme
--use of heart
--heart-felt sentiment
--tag (pierced instead of stitched)
In lieu of the embossed lines the blue card panel has an embossed edge from the die-cut.  The tag and panel are double thickness (instead of the foam tape) for added dimension.  The heart is inlaid and covered with some WOS for a little glitter.  To finish, I added a few small rhinestones in the same color palette for an extra sparkle.

For the main panel I did a water-color look by using Peacock Feathers Distress ink.  The darker marks were made by flicking some of the ink (I had more splatters other places than my card panel ... must practice more!!)
