Claire from Hope Jacare has created a very special image for this blog hop and named her Oona Owl in honour of our intrepid DT Co-ordinator Choccy. I am especially priviledged to have been the first person to work with this beautiful image and hope I have done it justice.

I used a colour swatch from Outlawz as inspiration for the colours using green, dark brown and grey as my main colours and adding lots of shading to add depth. I of course used my favourite Promarkers and Flexmarkers and adding some subtle glitter accenst with a Sakura clear glitter pen. I used a Nerstabilities die to cut the image and a mat in dark brown card.

Using a sketch from Try Stamping on Tuesday for the layout I covered the card blank with co-ordinating strips of paper from First Editions paper pad, using brown grosgrain ribbon to cover the joins.

For embellishment I used some lovely swirls cut from a Sizzlits die and rubber stamp combo, added some glitter pen faux stitches. The pretty flowers are Primas and the button centre completes the card.
