Owl Punch card

I recently did a workshop using the owl punch. I have always been a little taken with our punches and so was very excited to use the new owl punch.



This card uses four different punches (as I said I am just a little taken with using the punches! LOL!), the 1" circle punch, the modern label, the decorative label (in the Winter Mini) and the Owl Punch.

I used the circle punch in two ways - firstly the punched out circle was used as a mask for the moon as I coloured the night sky and then the scrap sheet that the circle was punched from was used as a mask to cover the sky so that I could colour the moon with frost white shimmer paint.

The card stock used is - Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso
Ink colours - Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso
Stamp Sets - Cottage Garden, Thanks for Caring
Accessories - Shimmer Paint (Frost White)

I'm Back!!!

Ok so after much teasing from friends I have decided to come back to blogging!! I know, I know, you have all missed me soooo very much!! LOL!!

I have been very busy making things and I will attempt to do at least a post a week. I can only hope that I can keep going!!

So the first card I am going to post is a swap that I made for the Brisbane Regional Seminar that I attended recently. It was great to get together with other demos and exchange ideas.



The technique used is called Crayon Resist and it works best when done on Gloss Card stock. I stamped the image with Staz On ink and then using a white crayon marked on the card where I wanted the white to stay and then using sponge daubers went over the image with Melon Mambo ink and then filled in the blank areas with So Saffron ink.

If you have any questions about Crayon Resist or would like to book a workshop to see this technique demonstrated please email me.
