I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. We had our meeting at Bristol Zoo for the wedding and the one hair trail for the day. So a very busy productive day including lots of food.
I treated myself to a new guillotine, a tonic one, and I am very pleased with it. I used it on this card.
The background was made with some textured card coloured with Distress ink,
I treated myself to the Mosaic Owl stamp from Woodware. It was stamped on to water colour card with black archival and coloured him with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens.
This is a Crafter's Companion die cut in two shades of green.
My husband has already taken this card for one of his work colleagues.
I would like to enter challenge 88 at the Creative Craft Cottage Challenge Blog and the Creature or Animal challenge at the Seize the Birthday Challenge Blog.
Have a great week.
Happy Crafting

ReplyDeleteLovely card Jackie I've fallen in love with Woodware stamps
ReplyDeleteHi, Jackie! I had a Tonic Guillotine that lasted about 10 years. It was a 6" wide x 12" tall, and had a short 6" adapter in case I wanted to cut 12" papers. It started getting a tad wobbly (like 1/16th of an inch) because we had been using it for leather, thick cardboard, sand paper, adhesive-backed items including magnetic sheets, cork board, veneering - you get the idea. My husband even used it with balsa wood. I still have it, but this year invested in a solid 12" x 12" Tonic! If it can possibly be said, it's even BETTER than my first! So the old one is used for "icky stuff" and the new one is used for papers LOL. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you bought a new stamp! Your mosaic owl is beautifully colored, and the frame around it brings even more mosaic pieces to your masterpiece! It's beautiful, Jackie! Your day at the zoo sounds delightful...
