You elegant fowl!



I’m sharing a card today I have made for a friend’s son who is turning 21, which features Aurora Wings’ Steampunk Owl image.


And no, I didn’t colour the image, I embossed it on some copper to add some interest to my otherwise CAS card.  I then applied the Tim Holtz’s industrious metal technique, although it is hard to see the effect in the photo, metal isn’t great to take a picture of.

My card follows the current sketch over at Retrosketches, I flipped it but not by design, got a bit confused when I was setting up my printing.  The happy birthday and 21 sentiments were all printed on my computer, or rather, I printed the background to the happy birthday.  I then used foil to make the sentiment into the design element.  I was going to add in a frame around the owl like in the sketch but then thought it might all get a bit busy so have just used the owl for the focal element.

Which of course meant that my card was minus embellies so I am also entering it in the current challenge at ABC Challenges.  And, as it is a male card, I am linking it up at the Crafter’s Café.
