Here is the card that I made for my hubby's aunt for her birthday. I don't often use glitter because of the mess I always end up making, but I decided to try it out on this card. The effect was quite good, but doesn't really show up in this picture.
The swirl stamp, from the Autumn Leaves Rhonna Farrer Flourishes v1 stamp set, was stamped onto white card using Versafine Vintage Sepia archival pigment ink, and the owl image, from the Papermania Secret Garden stamp set, was stamped to appear sitting on the swirl, also using the Vintage Sepia ink.
Extra swirls were added to the left of the panel and the swirls and owl were coloured with Copic sketch markers:
- Branches/Owl: E13, E31, E35, E39
The corners of the panel were then rounded using the large XCut corner rounder punch.
The sentiment, from the Elzybells Swirly Greetings stamp set, was stamped in the top right corner with the Vintage Sepia ink and the edges of the panel were then distressed with Tim Holtz Antique Linen distress ink.
The swirls were then glittered using Crystal DecoArt Glamour Dust, and the owl was glazed using Anita's 3D Gloss.
The owl panel was then matted onto a panel of brown card die cut using the Labels 8 die from Nestabilities.
A strip of the brown and cream swirl paper from the Papermania Botanical Handmade paper pack was matted onto a strip of the brown card which in turn was matted onto a panel of the Brittle paper from the Basic Grey Bittersweet paper pad.
The owl panel was then matted over the swirl strip and three cream card candy from Craftwork Cards were coloured with the Antique Linen distress ink and added in the bottom right hand corner.
I'll be entering this card into a few challenges:
ETA: This card made Top 3 at the Keep It Simple Challenge.
