Owl Always Love You

A while back, I came across some stamps from The Craft's Meow with some absolutely adorable owl images.  It was love at first sight!  They are so cute!  I finally got the chance to ink up one of the sets I bought when I started my husband's Valentine's Day card.


I used the Happy Owelentine's Day stamp set for this card.  I just love these cute little owls and can't wait to ink up more stamps from this set and the other sets I bought.  (Who needs an excuse to send "I love you" cards?!)  Jenny Suchin has such a way with illustrating these adorable images.  Looks like an Easter set is coming out soon! :)

I stamped the image on Copic X-Press It Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it with copic markers.  I used these marker colors: BG10, YG93, YG95, YG97, R27, E55, E57, E31, E33, E35, E37, E29, colorless blender.  I hand cut around the image and added it to white and black cardstock circles that I die cut with circle nestability dies.  I used some patterned papers from the My Mind's Eye Stella and Rose paper pad.  I stiched all the layers and added some red buttons and some Peppermint Baker's Twine.

I used the sketch over on The Craft's Meow monthly challenge.  (I'm barely getting this card posted before the deadline, but they'll be posting a new challenge soon.)

Have a great day!
