Steampunk Owl

This A7 size card is a "thank you" I made for my aunt.  Stamps used are "Steampunk Owl" by Stampendous, and Floral Tattoo by Stampers Anonymous.  

Owlie is inked in Memento Tuxedo Black and painted using Derwent Watercolor pencils and a waterbrush.  Background inks are Milled Lavender, Picked Raspberry, Seedless Grape, and Peeled Paint Distress ink.  There's also probably some Walnut Stain Distress ink on there, I can't imagine stamping without it. 

The Background paper is from the Idea-ology "Lost and Found" paper stash, and cut with the largest Nestabilities Label Fourteen die.

The adorable file folder pattern can be downloaded from the Stampendous site:

Spring Break Scrap Card Challenge 4

This is a 5x7 notebook holder (see my previous blog on how to make those).  The base was left over from a class, and I cobbled together some fresh elements for the front.  They make great little gifts, and fit nicely into a hand bag.  The Blossom Builder petals were adhered to a 3/4" card stock circle using a glue gun and low temp glue sticks. The center was rumpled, flattened, and sponged for texture and interest. I'll add a sentiment nested on the label in the lower right corner when I'm ready to give it away.
