For Toni's fun WT challenge today ~ Lots of Dots. I used paper, white gel pen dots and even a few Enamel Accent dots too - and now I can't find my bottle of Enamel Accents anywhere!! Where did I put the darn thing...
And also for this week's CCEE Stampers challenge from Shirley, which was a recipe.
We were to use 2 circles, 1 oval and two or more octagons (or decagons) on your card. I think that has since been modified to include hexagons too, but too late for me! I used buttons for my circles, and I hope it's OK that I matted my oval. Octagons, decagons??? I only have hexagon dies so I had to take a couple of geometry lessons to learn how to cut octagons and decagons. In the end I went with the octagons for my card .
For Toni's challenge, my paper is BoBunny Double Dot. I used Hero Arts Hoot Hoot Hooray. First of all I stencilled the branch onto the oval with the negative on an MFT branch die. Then I stamped the owls and coloured them with pencils.. Background coloured with Chipped Sapphire and dotted with a white pen. I added some stitching lines with a black pen, a little corner flourish (Pink Cat Studios Shabby Chic), and the sentiment that goes with the owls. The buttons are stitched on, and I added a few graduated dots of black Enamel Accents on the oval mat layer.

Well, I miss looking in the gallery for a few days and almost didn't see this amazing card. I love the colors, the image and the geometric shapes. The 3D affect with the ovals looks fantastic. There are a few people this week that get the "queen of patience" award and you certainly are one of them. All that "stitching" with the black pen looks terrific. Awesome card. Faved and pinned.
