Hello!! Hope your weekend is going well! We had a crazy windstorm yesterday, but thankfully things have calmed down! Made a card using the layout from Freshly Made Sketches. I changed the layout a bit by using a regular A2 size card and rectangles instead of squares for the elements. I have had the cute MFT Owl Yours stamp set for awhile and had not gotten around to using it. I thought the little owls would be perfect for the FMS layout. I stamped three of them using my MISTI on watercolor cardstock and then colored them with ZIGs. I'm not real happy with how they turned out. I definitely need to invest some money in a good set of watercolor brushes. I know what I want. I just have to put aside the money and get them. Anyway, once they were colored and dry I die cut them with the matching dies. The rectangles were die cut from woodgrain cardstock using the second smallest die from the MFT Inside Out Stitched Rectangles die set. I adhered the rectangles to the kraft cardstock base and then stamped the sentiment using VersaFine Vintage Sepia ink. I finished off the inside of the card as well with another the birthday sentiment and another one of the owls. Since this is a birthday card I will also add it to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge to make a birthday card. I think I will be giving this one to my oldest brother for his birthday in a few months.
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI kraft, Ranger woodgrain and watercolor; Stamps and dies: My Favorite Things; Inks: VersaFine Vintage Sepia; Watercolor medium: ZIG Clean Color markers
