Happy ‘Owl’oween Card

Today, I want to show you a another card I made with this month’s stamp of the month,“What a Hoot”. Yesterday, I showed you a quirky owl birthdy card. For today’s card, I used the Halloween accessory stamps to create this funky owl dressed up as a bat.

I used the same design (Gallery, p 199 of Wishes) as yesterday, but turned it on end for a portrait-oriented card. I also used the same colors and paper pack, but replaced the birthday hat and caards with a mask, bat wings and pumpkin. What a fun disguise, lol!

“What a Hoot” Birthday Card

Today, I want to show you a card I made with this month’s stamp of the month, “What a Hoot”. When I first look at the stamp set, I immediately thought of it as a Halloween set. But upon closer inspection, I noted all kinds of things you can use to dress up the cute little owl/bat. The accessories you choose can totally change the season of your project.

For this card, I choose to use the celebration hat and flowers to make a quirky owl birthday card.

This card is based on the Gallery design on page 119 of the Wishes book. Although I used the Scaredy Cat paper, I choose patterns that are not blatantly Halloween.

All the stamping is with Black pigment ink and colored with the new Alcohol markers (Marigold, Peony Purple & Pastel Peach.) Although the markers are not available in our exclusive inks palette, the colors coordinate quite nicely as you can see. In fact, after I colored the owl with Peony Purple (2 coats), I couldn’t tell it was not cut from Thistle paper.
