MMSC93 Owl/Tiny Dancer

Tuesday already and the first day of March!  Summer is over for us in the Southern Hemisphere and autumn/fall has officially started!  I love Autumn in Canberra - it is picturesque!!  Today is also Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge day - wahoo!

 

For my first card I have used an image from our weekly sponsor digistamps4joy - how adorable is this owl - I love those dreamy eyes and the gorgeous wispy feathers.


I have coloured him with Prismacolor Pencils - I am having fun getting familiar with them and love the way colours blend so well using Odourless Mineral Spirits.  I have also added some Buccaneer Blue from Lindy's Stamp Gang - this stuff is amazing - it looks dark Blue in the bottle but has a vintage brown/gold finish - divine!


It is popped up with foam tape for some extra dimension.

My card for the "priscillastyles' Design Team is created using the brand new Ballerina Resting image from Priscilla's Store - I just love this ballerina and had a lot of fun making this card.


I also coloured this image with Prismacolor Pencils and Odourless Mineral Spirits.


Then cut her out and popped her up on foam tape - you know how I love dimension!


These cards are for the following challenges:
Craft Your Passion - Girly - card 2
KB Cute Monday - Anyting Goes Using a Digi - both cards

    Oh Linda - I love them both - the owl is so cute and funky and you have coloured him beautifully. The ballerina resting you have made her so dreamy and feminine. The net 'ribbon' and button are perfect accents.

    Linda these are both amazing! I love the yellows and browns on the owl card. Your highlighting on him is beautiful! The ballerina... WOW! I love how you popped her up. The soft pink with the little touches of sparkle is so perfect. I love how your swirls mimic the rose vine and how your tulle is the same fabric as on a ballerina's tutu. Perfect choices! Love both the cards.
