It is the 15th of August and time again for the CAS Mix UP Design Team to share our CMU August REMINDER Cards :-)
I used Stamping + Glimmer Sprays + Die Cuts and Zig marker watercoloring
I recently had my SU Hostess Club party and my hostess was sharing a really cute Owl stamp set and Die Cut. I just had to stamp and die cut a few for future cards. Could not wait long...within a couple of days I had made this really fun card. My DH Denny LOVES owls, so this card will be saved for him when he needs a...Lift!
I sprayed the die cut layer with retired SU Smooch Spritz over my Tim Holtz Faded Dots Stencil. Then popped up my watercolored with Zig markers owls, which I had sprayed already with Shimmery Mist I had made using Frost White paint and alcohol. Fussy cut the sentiment and popped it up. That was it! I quick cute card for my stash.

ReplyDeleteHow adorable Nancy ... I am having myself quite the giggle as I am reading all kinds of things in to this beautiful scene you created. My imagination at work ... the little sweetie upside down - that is a he - no girl owl would let herself fall upside down from the perch!!!
