A Sparkly Hoot

Welcome

I meant to be back waaaaaaay before this, but real life has a habit of butting into my plans!

I enjoyed making this card.  
I started with a digi owl image, a freebie from Jane's Doodles, and coloured him with metallic pens


The sentiment was computer generated, printed on vellum, and embossed with WOW black Glitter ep


This shows the sparkle of the metallics


I trimmed the image panel down, and mounted it onto black card that I had wound gold thread around, and also splattered with gold paint to make a starry sky impression.  
That was them mounted over dark blue card


This inside had a strip of  gold metallic dotted washi down one side.

You made my day. I am a huge fan of owls. It was creative to make the breast
& wing feathers different colors. Nice! It is nice having you back posting. Love the fresh approach you present in your work. Keep safe.

Love, Hugs and Blessings,
Jim

Well done Maxine, sparkle is always a winner, as is vellum using that a lot lately .. like the background mount too.
Thanks for sharing, and may God bless and keep you and all whom you love safe and well.

Cannot apologise enough for not visiting you as I used to. I don't know what has been wrong with me but my mojo went, came back when I did a workshop and has disappeared again.
Anyhow I am here now and I love this owl. He is so colourful and I just love how his waistcoat/chest sparkles so. Lovely idea to use parchment for the sentiment and once again, you finish your cards off so beautifully - love the inside strip.
Blessings, Neet xx
