Today's hostess is Faith Hotrichter and her challenge was for us to use metal on our cards.
The image and sentiment this week is a cute set from Sweet n Sassy called Owl Occasions. You can find this set at www.sweetnsassystamps.com
I stamped the owl in Chocolate Chip on River Rock cs. I then stamped the image again on a piece of textured dp. This I cut and pieced for stomach part of the owl.
I used SU markers for the coloring.
I mounted the owl on Nestabilities in plain and scalloped circles on River Rock, Chocolate Chip and Purely Pomegranate. The first circle was left on the die after embossing and sponged with Purely Pomegranate.
The dp is by Memory Box/brandywine.
For the metal part of this challenge I used metal brackets to hold the main panel in place.
I stamped the image on River Rock and matted with Purely Pomegranate, punched a small hole, threaded a thin ribbon and tied to the card.
I had so much fun with this little guy, I hope you like him too.

Like him? I love him! I love the purply colors in this card Nicole, and his cuttled belly really looks like soft downy feathers. And those bits of hardware holding the circle inplac are just sheer brilliance! Great job on this!!!

Such a cute little owl and the leaf dp is perfect for the background for this cutie. Love your metal brackets. Great idea!
