Hello

Evening, all! As promised, here's another card, which has reached its recipient! I had been watching a lot of videos by Kristina Werner who uses a CAS style, when I made this card, so I went for a CAS look. I love watching videos on Youtube while doing the dreaded ironing!

The background is stamped with a Hero Arts/Basic Grey Wood Background cling stamp. I cut it a bit narrower than the card base, which is blue Centura Pearl, and added 3 snippets cut into strip and the ends vandyked.

Then I die-cut a circle and added the owl. He's from a Paper Smooches set called Spookalicious The shop I link to, Make the Day Special, has stamps from various American firms that aren't readily available over here. Worth a look, and their service is great - ordered on Monday, here in my hot little hands on Wednesday!!!

I used Promarkers to colour in the little fella (and didn't write them down, what a numpty!) then cut him out with a smaller circle die and glued him onto the blue base card. I added the top layer with foam pads.

I can't recall where the sentiment is from, but it's a clear stamp that I curved into shape before picking it up with my acrylic block and stamping as usual.

it's always quite challenging to do something out of the old comfort zone, but it's a great feeling when the card works! *is pleased*

Ok, time to get back to another tranche of Chrimbo cards, it's like being on an assembly line sometimes! Next year I WILL make my Christmas cards throughout the year! (Wanna bet, hm?)

I hope you're all having a good week - the weekend is just round the corner!

Thanks for looking

Challenges: Pixies Snippets Playground - three snippets of patterned paper, and the background was stamped on a snippet of white Rymans!
