A Paler Shaded Owl


It's new challenge time over at the Crafty Catz.

Our sponsor this week is Di's Digi Stamps.

The theme this week is Monochrome.



I love this cute little owl image. So I've used him again for this weeks challenge inspiration. I've coloured him with polychromo pencils but in a paler colourway than the version I've shared recently. He's put on top of layers of patterned papers. I've then just added a tag with the sentiment on.

Woofy Birthday


It's time for a new challenge over at

Our sponsor is Beccy's Place.
And this is one of her imaged called

Our theme this week is more than one fold.


I've used a 5x7 landscape card with about 1.5 inches cut off the front edge. On this flap  I have added the die cut birthday sentiment. Plus to the side a doggy woof which can still be seen when the image front flap is closed.


Then I've used a 3x10 piece of card folded in half to make a smaller card. This has then been used to make an inner card that folds the opposite way.


This view then gives you and idea of how the fold looks. These background cards have been covered in doggy related patterned papers. 


The  image has been coloured with polychromo pencils. This has been put on the top flap which is the smaller card. Behind the images I've used a paw print stamp.
