Good Morning everyone, i hope you had a good weekend.
I made these 2 cards for my dads birthday yesterday.
6x6 scalloped card. I found this fab brusho background in my background stack, i cut it to fit the cardfront and then die cut both a inverted scallop square frame and the circle burst dies from the middle. Behind the circle burst i added gold mirror card - to give the effect of the sun shining, i added it to the card front, adding the square frame up on foam tape.
I then stamped Mr Crow twice onto white card, left one white and cut it it all out, from the 2nd one i coloured the cravat & hat with orange and cut out and added to the white version. Glossy accents added to his eye & goggles. I glued him into place slotting the bottom edge into the inside of the frame.
I then got die cut lots of leaves from scraps of papers in orange tones and a couple of gold mirror card swirls and arranged them around him with stamped sentiment to finish.
When i saw this stamp i bought it with the idea for my dads birthday as he has quite a few rooks that are friendly, every time he is in the yard or fields they come down to keep him company and they enjoy the fruity snacks he puts out for them, they are full of character. Mum chose to give him this card as she loved it too.
and onto the 2nd card i made for me which i gave to him
6x6 Kraft stepper card. I first die cut my stepper card using a very old presscut die set. Id found a fab feather printed onto kraft paper background so lightly watercoloured around the feathers with oxide inks in blue tones, i then die cut it into the panel and attached to the front.
I stamped the owl twice onto more kraft card, i cut one out leaving a small border around the stamp frame which i inked up blue and matted onto a larger kraft panel and added to the card front. For the moon i painted it with silver mica powder and added glossy accents over the top. From the 2nd owl stamping i cut out the owl and around the foliage and added to the topper with foam tape.
Stamped sentiment die cut into an oval & matted onto a larger oval inked with the oxide inks to finish
Hopefully you can make out the shimmer of the moon, using the silver mica powder its subtle until the light hits it.

Now that's a rather handsome crow in his leafy setting keeping a watchful eye over his domain! I do love the hunting owl though in his monochrome setting ... Steph x

These are both so wonderful! Truly birthday presents unto themselves.
I just adore how elements of the second card resemble linocut artwork.
I hope that your dad had a fantastic birthday!
