Wisely ~ Believe In Yourself

2 Crafty Critter Crazies - New Challenge #36!


Hard to believe it's March 1st and time for a new month of postings for the monthly challenge at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies!  This month our sponsor is our very own Donna Ellis, sharing her Great Horned Owl image with our Design Team.  Click HERE to see all the beautiful cards made by the team members!  

Here is my project card for the month ~ Believe in Yourself


For my card, I selected the Black & White image and sized him to about 3" x 4" knowing I was going to use a 5.5" square card base.  I used Copic markers for coloring this wise old fellow and for the background also.

For the borders, I selected a gray mat and die cut both the mat and the image using one of the My Favorite Things Stitched Scallop Basic Edges dies.  I also used the gray for printing the sentiment from the same digital package and die cut it with the Gina Marie Designs Nesting Labels 2 smallest die.   After mounting all the elements, I added a small leaf branch as a finishing touch.

Donna's Great Horned Owl package comes with several versions that you really should check out - Black & White and several  colored versions.  Visit her @ https://creativesmiles2.blogspot.com

I’ll be entering this card in the following challenges:

  8. Pam, you and I had a similar vision for this great set from Donna! I wasn't brave enough to try doing the sky with Copics though... I went with oxide inks and got a darker result. I love the addition of the die cut borders to your card and the overall layout. Well done!
