…but a solemn writer is always a bloody owl


Well it’s almost Hallowe’en and not all my cards are done but I’ve a trio to share tonight, this one featuring the Moonlit Owl die from Tim Holtz.


Over at Challenge Up Your Life they want to see die cuts on your project so I’ve made my die cut the feature of my card.  I turned the Moonlit Owl die cut into a shaker by cutting around it with a Spellbinder circle.  I cut this from a white bit of card and then coloured with Black Soot and embossed with clear embossing powder to make it shiny.

For my background I inked a piece of Yupo paper with alcohol ink, having masked off a circle to create a large moon.  For my shaker I’ve used some lovely pistachio coloured sequins and beads from Little Things from Lucy’s Cards that I think looked like moonlight.

I’ve added in my sentiment using a chippie from Make it Crafty.  Well, two chippies actually, one a layered word and the other from an Adapt-a-Word set.  I chose to use a chippie so I could play along at Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers, although I’ve not gone snarky on my card.

As the current theme at Do-Al(l) Creative is Hallowe’en I’m also linking my card up over there.
