Little Owl

I am back for a new year of crafting.  Although I start school again on Monday, so we will see how much time I have.  This semester is a much lighter load than the last one though, so hopefully I will still have time to craft.  Here is what I made today:



The card is 4 1/2"x4 1/2" and made of white card stock.  I cut some orange card stock at 4 3/8"x4 3/8" and some patterned grey card stock at 4 1/4"x4 1/4."  The teal polka dot card stock strips are cut with the Panel Dies by Jaded Blossom.


The scalloped circle, which was originally a scalloped oval, is from the "Martha Stewart Elegant Cake Art" cartridge, I hid the image in the center of the oval.  I cut it at 2 3/4."  The owl is from the "Tiny Treasures" cartridge by Creative Memories.  It was cut at 2 1/2" and used foam tape to pop it up.


The sentiment and the banner on which it is stamped are also both from Jaded Blossom.  The banner is from Mini Tag Dies 2.  The sentiment is from Forest Friends.  I stamped it with London Fog ink by Tsukineko.  I finished off the card with some orange sequins.

I made this for the following challenges:
Color Throwdown; color combinations
Fantabulous Cricut: make a project about or with something new 
City Crafter Challenge Blog: say hello, wave goodbye
Jaded Blossom: crafter's choice
