Bugaboo Gus/Dad card

I know I have recently used this gorgeous Bugaboo's Gus image and sentiment but I thought it also suited my Dad so have created a different card but with the same digi. I find it so difficult to make male cards. At least I'll hopefully have a little stash of them after these last couple of weeks with most challenge blogs asking for male inspired cards!

The black flourish is from Flourish with a Bling and most of the papers used here are from Echo Park.

You are a Hoot! card

Hi there,

I have just recently used this cute owl from Limited Runs but in a completely different way. Here I have made him 3D by fussy cutting parts of him and using foam dots. I doodled around the circle and banner. Please ignore the glue as it wasn't set when I photographed this and now my photos aren't coming out as clear as this one (it's winter here as of tomorrow so it's gloomy outside). 

The gorgeous variety of coloured pearls and the fence are from Flourish with a Bling.

Owl friendship card

Hi all, 

I am happy to be a guest designer over at Quirky Crafts this challenge, their criteria this challenge is to use black, white and a sprinkle of your favourite colour (apparently my card has too much green so be careful not to use too much of your extra colour). Cazzy gave me this gorgeous owl image to use from Limited Runs, they are also sponsored by Crafty Ribbons and Robyn's Fetish. 

The gorgeous leaves and pearls are by Flourish with a Bling, check the vine out HERE.

I used copic markers, a glue pen and glitter on the owl.
