~A Dirty Challenge~
May 20th, 2008 by Holly McMillen
Good Tuesday to ya! Owl’s it going? heehee… couldn’t resist.
I may have mentioned this before, but each month, the Dirty Dozen and Alumni have a special challenge. This month, it was to make an owl (or other feathered friend) card. Our limitation was no crystal, rhinestones or dew drops. We also had to include texture on our card.
Well, I almost didn’t make the challenge, even though I’ve had my ‘idea’ in my head for weeks now. I, being an 11th hour kinda girl, didn’t start stamping until this morning at 5:30am. I was barely 2 sips into my coffee when I realized my ‘idea’ wasn’t going to work (branch was too long for the owls), so I trashed that. Then I cut my base paper the wrong way. Then …. well you get the idea. Stamping was not my friend this morning! I’m only mildly pleased with the outcome, and may do another later, but here it is! 🙂
Here’s my deets:
Stamps: Owl & Branch by Hero Arts; Sentiment by Stampendous
Colors: Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, Bliss Blue
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, copics
Accessories: Brads, ribbon, dimensionals, cuttlebug bubbles EF, primas.
TFL!~ and have a blessed day!
Love this Holly!
I totally love it! Sorry things weren’t going smoothly this morning but I love the finished product.
This is SO cute! Those owls are great, and I love the “eye” in the sentiment. I love your work, as always. 🙂
So cute Holly!
I love this card. I am always amazed when people say a card isn’t satisfying to them and I’m thinkingit’s great. I spent 30 minutes looking for it as I saw it, moved on and it haunted me so I had to go back and find it. I haven’t been an owl fan but this card may just change my mind. Terrific.
Way WAY TOO CUTE!!
And you are only *mildly pleased*!!!! Get outta here!!
I love the pink owl! She is soooo cute–and not a bit creep (like I find many owls).
Such a fun and cheerful card!
This is so adorable Holly, I love it!
